Default Waaaaaaah i got hit today

Yes thats right i got hit...one big **** DENT right in the bonnet

i was travelling east bound on a narrow road and saw a little truck come flying up so i pulled over cause i knew we wouldent BOTH make it past, but this dude kept coming and before he knew it he slammed on the brakes he is sliding at a rapid pace towards me,i wacked it in reversed but only got like 1 metre before he hit into me, he ended up with the **** end of his truck in my bonnet ARGH (the road was really wet too) so that was my fun day
this is my scratch/dent in my car which im not happy about!

im pretty sure it needs a new bonnet and bumper AND front right quarter panel and front right headlight..

it would be his fault wouldent it?

I was thinking of the TS bar today also I've considered the XR front a few times, but I do actually like the standard front, lights, etc. I'm damn proud of what my car is. I don't think less of it cos it aint an XR... Am I rambling? lol. Whatever you do, it'll be cool

Bad news mate, hopefully you can turn it into a positive, by getting the bonnet & front bar you want.

Bumper doesn't look too bad, I'd be more worried about the bonnet.

If you were going to go the TS50 front bar, you need to upgrade to a high series bonnet. The current bonnet you have won't work with the TS50 front bar from AWC.

Yeah ... the utes never came with them ... the Fairmont bonnet ... or the later model Forte bonnets.

Or you can get keep your bonnet and grille ... and modify the TS50 bar to suit your current setup by cutting the grille off the bumper and getting fibreglass work to make it smooth and even.

At least you got the guys details.

I rear ended my ute into a rock wall the other week ... I was so p155ed off with myself ...mind you ther driveway I was reversing up was on a 45 degree angle snaking backwards up between narrow rock walls ... wheel spinning in reverse just trying to get back up the driveway ... in the wet as well.

I made it out of the driveway just ... but the car kept wheelspinning in reverse after i have got off the accelerator and just on a brakes to stop hitting the wall opposite the driveway (which needed a 5-point turn to get out of) ... luckily I only damage one plastic corner .... no taillight or panel damage though ... need a new lower rear bar now.

Damn narrow driveways in the back of Camerray
