Bumper Thunder Cock

[mattyn1]

Pizza Hut car park - kerb a little higher than I thought - and as I reversed out, the most horrendous noise - and the resulting damage as you can see!

Am so annoyed with myself - and annoyed that there is noone else to blame. Just what I need two weeks before Christmas!

bky cock bags!

Apologies if the pics are too big!!

[chryslerben]

Gaffer tape it

[vrsmxtb]

Damn, bad luck! I hadmy rear bumper hooked on a high kerb once doing a three point turn,managed to pull it off its mount a bit, scuffed the point luckily on the underside so barely visibleandput a right big ding on my backbox exhaust tip. Evil things, kerbs should be 6 inches max

it's an sline audi it might soften it up a bit

[Funk]

I agree; why do they make kerbs so high?

[mattyn1]

Why did i not see thye were so high.

wkyity wkwk

[Superhoop]

Has it actually broken the bumper, or has it just pulled out the retaining clips?

St happens don't beat yourself up about it, I caught the driver’s side rear quarter on my ST on a post that I knew was there, resulting in a £300 repair bill. I was gutted, fuming at myself for days but it will repair

A better question would be why do they make cars so low

Anyway the answer to all questions is duct tape


Fix it after the winter incase you stuff it when it snows

That did make me lol a bit, maybe a new PH t'shirt idea

OP gutted for you but at least you didn't hit anyone else. Hope it's not too £££ to sort

Yeah it is torn - see first pic! Will sort insurance tomorrow! Trying to be positive, but it is so pissing annoying! I want to blame someone!!

The car had a very early s-line bumper - some on the audi forums have picked up on this. I am assuming there will not be the original one available and will have to get the modded one, which does have a more aggressive look.

Thats the ticket, if you HAVE to have a repair, go for a minor upgrade. Itll comfort you a bit every time you look at it after spending out.


Oh and fking audi drivers, btw.

Exactly that - was chatting to MrsM, car park quite empty which threw us - normally quite busy. I did faff about which space to use, swung in, chatting, heard the scrape, reversed and hey presto!

What I should have done is... stopped, inflated the tyres and the reversed (opposite of the lorry and the low bridge conundrum). But I never thought of that, and it was pissing down, and bks!!

Still - smiling though!

As others have said, it's really annoying but it's nothing in a 5 year plan!
