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

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,

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...
