Title: Crashed in Halfords :(
Post by: scottee on May 2, 2004, 13:45
I very stupidly decided to insert my 2 into the rear of an astra this morning. No excuses, totally my fault (I was reversing and i didnt see him in my blindspot) 10:30am in the morning  s:( :( s:(

Its all cosmetic damage, the bumper bracket 'might' of snapped or bent because the bumper is a little lower now (you can see a gap inbetween the bumper and lights on one side). Most of it T-Cut out, but I have some nice long 4inch marks down the side of the back bumper, I need to get some touch up paint for it, should I goto MrT or is there elsewhere where I can get some (I loathe going to MrT ask the cockup he made of my TTE dual)

I've also ordered some of that Luksa (or however you spell it) stuff to use after I've touched it up.

The main problem is that the little circle thing (where the reflectors are supposed to go) has poped out, but I went back to halfords and its not in the carpark, does anyone have a spare one I can have/buy?

Doh!

If you're lucky, it might just be that the bumper has popped out, there are a few locating pegs as well as bolts. To be sure, you need to remove the bumper alltogether than reassemble. As for paint, try here for the best stuff I have used...  w www.autovisuals.com (http://www.autovisuals.com) w
Can't help with the cover though, sorry.
