    Default Minor Accident

    Pretty annoyed right now...

    I was reversing out of my drive and checked the way etc... always keep an eye out and don't just rely on the sensors. As i was almost full swing out of the drive i felt a bang. Turns out a chinese family decided that even though they had just driven around the corner they could squeeze behind me and PARK! Before i even had time to react there was a collision.

    Mine, punched a screw size dent out of the bumper and a very light fracture on the bumper.

    Them, dented fron panel. (no insurance)

    Getting the garage to replace the whole bumper (hopefully) as i don't like patch up jobs but it sucks that im the one that gets lumbered with the insurance excess..

    GRRR.

    If there is a hole in the bar it will automatically be replaced. A small positive out of an unlucky situation I guess. Have you considered just paying the costs yourself and not going through insurance? I new rear bar will be about $700 painted and fitted.
