Sorry to hear about that Matt.Bad luck has really cr@p timing.Did the pipe take most of the impact or do have body/bumper damage too? Hope it's easily & quickly repairable.Insurance involved job?

Hard luck mate - make sure you take them to the cleaners, they'd probably do the same for you.

just a quick update.
go under her (in our pit @ home)
basically the bumper is now fused into the bumper iron, and the numberplate/lights are mush.
The exhaust was pushed so hard forwards its pulled some of the hangers round and snapped a rubber mount...
also has pushed a flange up @ the de-cat pipe and the exhaust is now slightly blowing.
the guy was a domino's pizza delivery guy who was looking the other way when he hit me @ the pedestrian crossing.
luckily the old lady i had stopped for had almost crossed when i saw him coming so i released the brakes and he just punted me forwards
have got to sort out the insurance now....
pain in the arse.
