..........My fucked Airdam front and one dead cat
Was fuming when i saw the damage, made a massive bang when i hit it though i cant imagine what the cat looked like after. My dad thinks its repairable, ripped the arch off too so the little fuckers done a good bit of damage, just means that ill be out of pocket to fix it though.
Last pic is my new number plate that i got for Xmas, name is Joe Edmondson so im chuffed with that!

Ohhhh, shit, that's it, I'm bein extra careful with my aridam now, thats pooles and now yours buggered...
Least you can prob fix it somehow, try heating it and reshaping. If it was a GRP bumper there'd be nothing left, so look at it on the bright side...

The poor cat shouldnt have run out, couldnt give a shit about it. Yes i was speeding before all the lecturers see this, it was a dual carriageway it was quiet i go up and down it nearly twice a night. Would have still done as much damage at 70

I think its something when the bumper is plastic and its about £350, plus its cracked in places takes some doing to crack plastic like that. But i must admit it was no 120 MPH collision

tomorrows job now is to get original bumper back on and have a crack at getting things back in place, fog light has gone near enough behind the bumper.
Yeah im chuffed with the plate, my dad has got H2 EDM, H3 EDM AND H4 EDM so thought i may aswell jump on the bandwagon, was only £250 aswell

One less cat in the world, nice work.......if there's enough left of the cat, find its owner (do cats have to wear ID collars? can't remember) and sue them for lack of control of their pet, and use the money to repair the car.
