Stupid ethnic bloke decided to use my car to stop his on sheet ice.
Said he was running late to take his kids to school, had his kids in the car too. PRAT!
Need a new wing, arch trim and front bumper.
Luckily bit was the wing where rust was coming up under the paint where the arch trim bolts through so that will get fixed now.
Thankfully tho, my NCB is protected and he had insurance so just got to get it fixed.
What pisses me off tho is you drive so carefully, and some random prat drives like a complete nob like there back in Nigeria(snow and ice, what snow and ice, never seen this stuff before.).
And it wouldnt bother me if I had done the damage on a track day, would have been like "oh well shit happens".
Rant over.

Arch trim where the tags are, are broken and the bumper the clips are broken, plus you cant just respray them because of the knobbly effect.

Gaffer tape and large plasters lol. But yeh, as you say, lucky it was more of a glancing blow than a full head on!
Just hope the weather doesn't fook up the meet now tbh!

Must of hit u fairly lightly, come off ok I reckon. This is what happened to me, both set off from a cross roads at the same time facing opposite eachother, I was going right, he was coming straight over. So we weren't going very fast.
Bent the lower part of the slam panel too but straightened it out, glad it didn't do the top part!
So I think you came off lightly considering, could have been worse.
