Had a little accident, driving merrily along a back road / country lane and coming towards me is the biggest fooking tractor and trailer i have ever seen.

So i had the choice to take to the grass or loose half the car when it ploughed on by with out a care in the world.

So i took to the grass / dyke and this was the outcome :cry:






Can't decide if i should get it looking like it was a few hours ago or have a fiddle with the bumper and make it a bit more unique

My mate who is a farmer will probably reply to this. It is hard driving big vehicles down little roads, especially when car drivers get in the way. Not meaning you. I've been out with my mate harvesting in a combine and drove around the roads in that, use the tractors to stop traffic as you come round a corner at speed and thats there you're dead, and cars still nip around get in the way and don't realise how close they are to getting crushed.

They're insured as well of course, so it might be worth going to see them if you know which farm it was from.

I would go and see them. My other mate has paid out in the past just to save having the hassle of pissing people off on a long term basis.

Maybe the "I hate farmers" was the wrong title, I dont as being a country fella i have a few mates who are farmers etc just happened to be what went through my head as i heard cracking fibreglass and wallet about to be emptyed.

Should i have it repaired same as my avatar or...

Smooth over the number plate recess, the centre vent in the splitter smoothed over and a 3/4 sized plate at the bottom of the splitter.

Will do a PS

I quite like it but it will take longer to have done and cost more.

Will do a better photoshop when i get a min tmoz with a more recent picture and see what it looks like then.

Get a quote for fixing and then a quote for the above done that will decide which i do haha.

Willbe fixed ASAP (I hope) 100% for 16th July anyways along with Irmscher Air Dam rear.

Things can only get better, was an expensive way to get rid of all the stone chips.

Yours looks sweet now, I still need to decide if to change or not, maybe be better to change.

I've done this one now so why not try something new.

I'm glad mine was only a grass bank and not a badger
