Hey everyone,
About a week ago I was reversing out of a Safeway carpark here in Australia and when hooking the car around to get out, I didn't see the less-than-foot-high concrete "walls" that are all over the place, and rashed up my bumper. Which sucked coz it's my sister's wedding this Sunday and I wanted the car in top nick, and not arrive in a shitheap.
So I got my Helga fixed up, and thought I would show before and after shots. I was shitting bricks when I banged it up though, I expected the bumper to be on the ground and have to carry it back in my boot. I was also extremely lucky that damage was restricted to one section of the bumper, so it was easy to fix. The exhaust tips on the car at the time (stock ones from BMW factory) were rashed up too, the exhaust place 2 units down from the panel beaters offered to put bigger tips (2.5" now I think?) for AU$70, so I thought I might upgrade.
