Default Its snow funny....

Got a bit "over-enthusiastic" while out playing in the snow.



Wondering if repair back to standard or could anyone recommend anything else - light clusters, body kits etc...

I'd be gutted. I doubt I'd have the guts to go on a forum and admit to crashing my car whilst 'playing'. So, fair play to you. What did you crash in to?

Personally, I'd keep it all standard, save a bit of cash and then go on a car control course.

I am gutted mate. Was having a lot of fun fishtailing around some empty streets sideways. It had to end badly though. **** happens, or in this case was made to happen.


Its actually quite a hard place to repair because its crumpled and creased behind the tail light. Not impossible a dont think.


Anyway I seen this and I'm pretty tempted. Could maybe get away with a rough repair, get it pretty close to standard shape at the bottom of the 1/4 and then cover it over?? Any oppinions.

Plenty cars being broken on here so the bumper and lights shouldn't be a problem. Just the panel damage to get sorted.

That's the trouble; people think the 4x4 system makes them immune from this sort of thing......big mistake.

That is a big shame mate! And shame its not just the bumper and light otherwise it would be a cheap fix! That rear quarter might cost a few pennies extra though.... But to be fair I have seen far worse damage done to peoples cars in the snow!

Body damage is always fine as long as you can walk away!
