anyone know where i can get a new back bumper, black would be better though
no didnt get his reg, it was at a busy round about and he must of though i had gone but i hadnt, he bumped into me, so i though the best thing to do was pull off the round about down one of the side roads, so i just pointed over, so he followed me round the roundabout, but as i went down side road he carried on driving, went after him but lost him round the big council house estate, and i didnt get his reg cause it smashed as he hit me

I hate that! Or at least when my foot starts to slip off the clutch and I'm desperately trying to get the foot back on and shouting at the person infront to move before I shoot into the back of them 
Only happened a couple of times though but once was behind a brand new X6

lolol i have these really dodgy like halfrauds pedals on my car that came with it when i bought it and there sooooo slippery its unreal, i also just bought some proper carpet foot mats because it had cheque plate foot mats in and they were a nightmare to drive with when it was raining think i need to get rid of these pedals also

If you've even got a rough idea of the plate and you know what make and colour the car was you can use a vehicle data checked to guess the plate.. If you find a plate that is on a car of the same colour/make report it as a hit and run to the police.

u might not even need a new bumper so get some pics to tom and he will give a quote for far cheaper than vauxhall or a new bumper, unless it needs it.
and if it doesnt it may come out less than ur excess anyway.

no i damaged his front plate, so looking in my rear view mirror it wasnt very clean, and then by the time i pulled over in a side road and he carried on, so that gave the guy time to get some distance, which is great considering it was near a council estate with a fair bit of back ways and garage areas etc
Graeme thats what i was thinking, i washed the car today and theres only a few bit of scuffs, but put the car on a ramp and couldnt see any damage, not even to any of the bolts etc, so was thinking of a respray
