Stupid b17@#$ rear-ends me at a red light.... *sigh*

On the bright side - at least it's not the business-end of the vehicle and it's all covered.

It was me, I was so jealous! Only gagging. Sorry to see the beautiful lines of your sweet machine spoiled. Hope there's no internal damage. Some people need to learn how to use their breaks better!

Yikes. Hopefully just cosmetic, and will be a straightforward fix.

quotes underway, yeah i'm not holding my breath on parts .. waiting game

driving it around today i didn't notice any difference :P panelbeater's assessment was that the damage was mostly cosmetic, the aluminium you see in the image is the crumple bar which took the impact from the other vehicle's roo-bar. unless they see anything different when the bumper is off it should be pretty straightforward.

three words peoples ... SAFE STOPPING DISTANCE!

Perth drivers for you.
Tailgating is a sport here !

I was hit by a guy who ran a red arrow four weeks ago but was on a mountain bike.
Still recovering but got off lightly conssidering what could have happened, much like yourself.

Hopefully there is no structural damage,you have lived to tell the tale and it is the one and only accident that will happen to you whilst owning that car.

PS
Did yiou vent severely at the person ? :buttkick:
