Was due to sell my car today and some twat in a transit van reversed into it. Now my front bumper is in pieces and has to be fixed
Worst thing is that the bumper is joined to the arches which are blended into the bodywork, so it all has to be ripped off. Only had it put on two weeks ago
Is it just sods law that on the day that i'm selling the car that some one runs into it

Looks like Mr Sod has come out to play his law again.

They weren't blended in with filler just some kind of silicone stuff but it all has to be ripped off which will f**k the spray job up
Never mind

Car wasn't insured for the kit so if questions are asked insurance would be void That'll teach me to advise her not to insure the kit

That wasn't me, that was my girlfreind. Some one offered her the money but he didn't seem to be genuine. I was going to send you another message today but the car is now damaged
I was going to sell to you, but i was out last night and didn't talk to her. She thought she knew best, stupid girl

Didn't get the dials sorted, i bought the dials and was going to put them in today but gave up as i was a bit annoyed with the car
The car was parked outside the house cos i can't get it up the drive, a nice white van man decided to park in front of it but his reversing skills weren't too clever
Don't know how much it'll cost to get it sorted, may need two arches and remains of bumper taking off, repairing, fitting back on and spraying again so could cost a few pennies
