Just in from a hour and a half finishing of the car. Has to have been the most expensive Chinese takeaway ever! Having spent the last two days trying to get the car ready for the annual meet, I finished around 7pm. Got cleaned up, headed off to fill her up, and then to the local takeaway as was too tired to make anything.
Parked nose into the kerb. Seemed okay when I looked at it whilst waiting on my order, with at least an inch of clearance. You can guess the rest.
When I got home, I discovered that after the last work was done on it, the undertray wasn't replaced. This meant that the bottom of the bumper wasn't secured either, so was hanging lower. Also turns out that the bumper wasn't secured properly at either side. Something to catch the kerb and not a lot of screws in place to hold it there. The broken foglight mounts are the least of my concerns.
