The wife has just come home and her first words to me were 'I've scraped the car'

Apparently she didn't noticed that the wall hadn't moved out of the way when she was reversing....

Anyway, the point of all this is I need your help and ideas, the bumper corner is scratched and scraped about the size of a hand. Sorry no photos as too dark out there

Whats the best way of getting it repaired, will chips away be any good or is it a trip to the stealers, can I save the bumper?

Can't give you any advice on how to fix it I'm afraid, but you have my sympathy and I hope it's easily sorted.

Mrs trg currently out in ours (week old today...) and your report of events gave me this nasty feeling - "there but by the grace etc..."

All the best

Yes, I know how you feel. I got the "I've scrapped the car, and was confronted with this.

sorry for your loss Mr pubman

as an off topic I notice the side steps have 3 brackets per side, tubes only have two. Its just that I tell people that fitting steps is the same as tubes, when infact its a little different  At work

The after bodyshop looks brill!! Notice the side steps not replaced - is there a reason, or did you not want to replace

I'd have it checked out at the stealers, if nothing else, you will know whats involved when you take it elcewhere. On the other hand, it may be damaged beyond what can be seen. hope not.

good point JT

Seeing the before and after pic above I feel a lot happier now, my bumper scuff doesn't seem too serious now, but will still be getting it checked out at the stealers (taking carnochs advise there).

Hopefully I'll sleep tonight

Why do women try to reverse though??? Lago Grey 2.2 s td4..e

Pubman - not a good situation I know, but maybe your misses will try to get in your good books for a while

Try & find a reputable local body shop like I do as if you give it to a dealer unless they have their own bodyshop it will be sent to the cheapest place they could do a deal with & charge you top rates & probably end up with a crap job! (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
