adam1983 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Cannot believe how unlucky i am! I have only just had the car serviced and upgraded to bpu and this had to happen. Was driving up the m40 earlier this afternoon in the outside lane ran over something (no idea what it was) which then flicked up under the car and hit the inside of the rear bumper near the exhaust pipe and ripped the corner clean off. Didnt know how bad the damage was until i got to the nearest services to see what had happened. This is what i saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical though isn't it, get it sorted and then this happens. Looking on the brighter side of things; how did you find the step up to BPU?

Looking on the brighter side of things; how did you find the step up to BPU? No idea what i hit but i felt it drag under the wheels then a loud bang. looked through my rear view mirror and saw something black flying behind me into oncoming traffic. obviously i wasnt sure if it was the thing i had run over or something off my car. not like i could stop to find out either when in the outside lane. Oh and the step up to bpu was well worth the extra money it cost. You definately feel the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then i will just go with a standard for temporary until i get hold of one. On that note if anyone has a trial one going then i will be able to collect it straight away. In black preferably though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1983 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Ok just a quick update on things. Got hold of a stock bumper for cheap and took it to the bodyshop to get it sprayed and fitted. A couple of repairs need doing on it and it needs to blended into the the panels where the trial one used to wrap around. All in it's costing me £450. I can't believe how something like this could end up costing this much. Oh well at least it's getting sorted now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
