Gutted! My car hit black ice on a bend and hit an iron gate
 
Hiya

I was driving to work, got to work and turning into the works car park there was some ice on the road, my wheels just slipped mid turn and the car skidded forwards into an iron gate which was bolted to the concrete floor - so the Gate was not moving, my panels took the brunt of the impact.

Anyway to get the car moving I have to rip of the bumper from under the headlight to the wheel arch as the bumper would have been risking rubbing onto my tyre. In gutted. But least no damage to bonnet/chassis.

Look at the state of my car, she needs some love and attention. Checked the suspension that seems fine too - however alloy needs a respray.
