Ryan@Indigo-GT 26 July 2011 08:31 PM

Ouch mate! That looks bloody painful

Adtmitts 26 July 2011 08:33 PM

Ouch... I know how annoyed I would be with myself. These things happen though mate!

andythejock01wrx 26 July 2011 08:34 PM

That's a bugger. Hopefully will be cheap enough to avoid putting it on the insurance.

scoobyman.matt 26 July 2011 08:37 PM

Wow that hurts. A year ago i reversed into my sisters mint xr2 (completly original with 10K on the clock) it really was not the proudest moment of my life but you learn not to be complacent in a car this way :cry:

bioforger 26 July 2011 09:13 PM

We've all done it mate, get a new bootlid, bodyshop, part with a fair amount of cash n try not to be a cock next time you reverse it :)

T5NYW 26 July 2011 09:40 PM

I agree sucks and feel for you,

I backed into my security post recently was in a rush but luckily just crazed the paint slightly on the bumper so can get it sorted cheap, biggest problem I had was the embarrassment of it, hopefully if you can find a boot correct colour won't cost to much,

need4speeduk 26 July 2011 11:01 PM

Give Matty at pole position a shout and I'm sure he'll be able to help

BlueBridge Subaru 27 July 2011 08:54 AM

Antony@indigo-gt 27 July 2011 10:01 AM

Nothing worse than realising you have just hit the car. Gutted for you :(

M444GY 27 July 2011 12:50 PM

i feel your pain fella last year i did this by reversing into a lamp post

new bumper,light cluster and quarter panel and boot repspray.

stevie1982 27 July 2011 10:30 PM

Wow by the looks of those to pictures it appears subaru don't just use chocolate on the 2.5 engine but on body panels too lol,

How fast were you both going to do that

tubbytommy 28 July 2011 06:43 AM

only about 5 mph, most car panels are thin metal so no different to subarus.
mine looked worst than it was the bumper and dent popped out ok just needed repainting.

every1sgottablue1 28 July 2011 07:15 AM

Have you tried T cutting it! ;)

B4D HK 28 July 2011 11:43 AM

gutted for you mate, sti bootlids (without spoiler) can be bought for circa £50, respray roughly £100, fit old spolier and lock to new shiny bootlid, avoid skips, job done :)

joz8968 28 July 2011 12:37 PM

I know how you feel!

I had my beloved Integrale Evo and was leaving this car park. I didn't notice one of those black-painted concrete/metal posts (that look like a 'mini lighthouse') and turned too tight a turning circle...

Cue awful metal-ripping sound - I had dented in the whole of the nearside (driver side, remember ;)). I felt almost physically sick. The side of the car looked like it had a huge wrecking ball slam into it!

The bodyshop did a wicked job on it though...

The caption below the photo made me laugh :lol1:
