Sometime between now and yesterday when i went to the new forest this has happened to my lotus elise 111s



No ones owned up to it, obviously just drove off like normal! f'ing gutted i am, Not had the car long either like 4 months! Only problem with the lotus's aswell is theres not many removable body parts, so if thats not fixable will have to buy a new front clamshell which would cost a bomb!!!! theres also a massive scrape right was along the middle



Thats annoyed me for the day!

Same old story, somoe useless peice of st damages your car and drives off. I feel your pain mate, its happened to me twice now as well. Fortunatly someone saw it the second time and left me a note so i could get the stupid dust bin men to pay for it.

Have a whisky and think of a front end respray as a good thing. No more stone chips!!

terribly sorry to read this Ant, somebody hit my mirror on Matchams lane and because there were multiple cars I couldn't work out which of the fkers did it no one stopped they just all fked off! Gang of s they should all be whipped and then forced to pay for the damage and the mental anguish that this causes and then whipped again!

I would be too, nodoubt about it that is repairable. Might not be able to take it to a garage and they'll do it but repairable your own time by yourself and then get it sprayed.

Have alook at this, as I hope it does help

I dont think people know the size of their actual cars, have so many people like in the middle of the road when your going down a country road, im like good god you dont need that much room! Then things happen like you lose your wing mirror, which has happened to me down cranleigh road.. then obviously someone didnt realise that there car was as long as they thought when reversing straight into my f'ing car!!

Cheers for going to the trouble of getting that link for us, unfortunetly me and anything manual and cars dont go together.. usually end up doing more damage than good.. Many previous trips to salvage yards from where my temper ran away from me and i ended up breaking things LOL. have got it booked into a pro next week.

I was there last wednesday brother. Parked the M at work and some dopey - clearly female (sorry ladies I have good reason) reversed into my bumper cracking it. I swore in my driveway for about 3mins 26 seconds before having a beer and raising my glass before thinking to myself, 'I bet they dont have an M5'
If they did have an M5 they wouldnt have hit my car as they would have been more careful.
I felt better after that and booked it into haggys dad for repairs.
