    Default Advice on a fender bender

    Hey guy's, some douche bag 'touch parked' reversed (with a tow ball) into my car and has done some fairly bad damage....

    Here's a pic..

    Advice, should I get a whole new bumper seen as though my one has a massive crack.

    If I should, would an SS bumper fit it, it's a super6 VY calais S1

    Cheers in advance.

    i would get a whole new bar, so much easier and no an ss one wouldn't fit because you'd have the hole where the parker light would be.

    if you want a different front bar go for the vy 2 calais front bar.
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    Cheers for the reply, ebay and holmart don't have any so I might have to try wreckers and a last resort, order one over priced bumper off Holden

    Bejamin. When you park take your P's down! Many people have learned the hard way that having nice vehicles on your P's make other people more likely to damage them!

    Hell, you can even drive without them, provided you dont get pulled over! :P

    Yea, i know that, but when you have your car parked and it's a really nice car and people see a P plate some scum get jealous and do stupid stuff, key cars, touch park some even steal side indicators. You take your P's off when your parked and that scum is less likely to single out your vehicle.
