Damage isn't that bad but...

Its the Bumper, tow bar and boot that have taken a wallop, and having had a towbar fitted in the factory there is no rear bumper absorption bracket so the force went straight into the car and me - so I have a sore back and neck tonight which is bloody irritating.

This also means the bumper is cut in several places as the brackets came through.

Sorry for the over size pics, ill correct tomorrow.












oh and now none of the parking sensors work - even the front ones, or the rear camera -





I am interested that the bumper stayed in place as there was no deflection, but I reckon this is because the tow bar just fucked the bumper and the car that hit me...

so I start the bidding about 4k?

oh plus the rear half will need the G-techniq re applying
Bent chassis too perhaps courtesy of the direct tow bar shunt...?
6k
