Oh Crash !!

2 April 2015, 22:35

While stationary in me Truck this morning I was rear ended.
Me Yoshie rear Bumper Bar held up well but for a paint scratch, not so lucky was me Rear Fog light n rear arches.

Only problem was/is the Vehicle implanted itself on the Tow Ball mounting the rear Bumper Bar impacting on the n/s/r & o/s/r wide body arches damaging about 4-6" at the backend.
So after repairs are done a small mod will be to shorten the Bumper Bar .. Should this happen again no arches will be damaged.....

The Vauxhall Astra was destroyed save for the Headlights n Bonnet which managed to escape damage, but front chassis did not ripped/torn apart ..

Please No requests for pics as I have a Dinosaur phone n hope to get some pics for ya alltomorrow
