right heres the story

was in the square (car park outside a shop) at one end of the town tonight speakin to a mate and his gf.

went to come out of the car park, was creeping out cause the bumper scrapes. moved across the road to go round the small roundabout and the car started sliding, was doing about 10 mph traightened of the wheel to try and get control still nothing, put in the clutch got it slowed down but not enough and hit the kerb on the passenger side, off came the bumper

its not too bad, going to get some fibreglass tomorow and make the repairs needed, still got mesh in the shed so thats sorted lol. i aint got pics of the bumper cause its dark but i got one of the car, will post more tommorow.

scrap what the bumper?

is it worth fixing.

i could get hold of a combat 1 front for next to nothing for just now, or mabey a standard front for the moment

what you rekon?

whats the law against not having a front bumper, is it along the lines of having all the sharp metal etc covered so members of the public dont get harmed or something

Quite possibly the worst photography i've ever seen

Seriously, get a mate to take some photo's then someone might be able to help evaluate the state of the damage

Best thing for that bumper in my opinion. Hideous.

Can't go wrong with standard.
