Not the greatest of mornings

[Phil303]

Got the front lower grille/bumper trim caught on a high carpark kerb this morning

I heard the scraping sound as I reversed out but thought it was nothing more than that - scraping. It was only when I saw the front of the car after parking it in the multi-storey near work that I saw the damage. Missing lower foglight grilles and the drivers side hanging off.

I went to leave the car park straight away but I'd dropped the ticket when looking at the damage and it had blown under a parked car. Cue frantic dash to ticket booth for a replacement ticket and a hectic drive back to the car park to retrieve the missing grille pieces.

Luckily I've managed to pop it all back in place but it's not as perfect as it once was. Today's lesson is; Don't underestimate how long the bonnet overhang is.
