Well done TjP you complete ****ing muppet
AHHHH!

Just picked my car up from the garage (brake pads all round and went on the T4 to check for errors) and thought I'd drive around a bit. Went up a lane I havent driven before, but I knew it came out onto a road I know well...

So at the junction where it comes out on to the familiar road I managed to SOMEHOW completely scrape and crack the lower rear arch to ****. It was a very narrow blind exit so I was concentrating on listening for traffic as I edged out and then suddenly SCRRRRRRRRCHHTTTTRRR followed by a "What the... F**K!!!!" <- That would be me.

I dont know what the hell it was but I obviously cut the corner and hit some sort of high curb... or... dunno!!!

I am REALLY p!ssed of with myself cause it was just wank driving by me... I was too concerned with the blind exit and cut the corner majorly (still not even sure how, I went as wide as possible in the narrow lane!).

I drove on a bit and then checked the damage. I was absolutely crapping myself, convinced the whole side was scratched and dented (sounded like it when it happened!)

Frankly I was relieved at the damage, after what I was expecting...

Here the pics anyway








If anyone knows of one for sale... or even the proper name for that part I need to replace (main arch?), please let me know!

Yeah, thought I had completely wrecked the whole side of the car until I saw it... not too bad as it turned out but still plain wank driving by me which Im annoyed with. To hit there I must have cut the corner HUGELY! >_<

Seen this on ebay but its the wrong damn side! Just the right colour too, god damn.

Yeah Im gonna do some repairs, at least temporary ones. Gonna get the superglue out and buy a silver touch up pen. Then I'll have to keep an eye out for the part on ebay, unless I can repair it more convincingly than I think.

Hard luck, won't fibre glass repair it? We had a transit front damaged at work and the new one cost a bomb. The whole front slam panel and where the grill fits is all plastic, 05 plate, snapped in half at the bottom. Anyhow our Plant manager fibre glassed it then put a gel coat over it rubbed it down and it was as good as new.
