For comedy value (even though I can't see the funny side or my poor feckin' wallet).

Please see attached photos of the redesign of the front bumper area also including the front grill.

I know pdxaudi has been after a new look and could definitely be a possibility .

Note how the front bumper has moved towards the front wheels making it just drivable.

Luckily? the radiator was not damaged but I'm still looking at a bill of around £400 plus whatever the 'whiplash' will cost me and whether it goes through my insurance, or I pay for the the paint that fell off the other car and the 'emotional pain' the other driver suffered from a 5 mph collision.

Nobody was hurt which is a good thing and I suppose they're only doing what most people would do but it still hurts and the '8' did take the most damage.

On a lighter note when I took the car to the body shop he asked what car had been hit. When I told him it was a 98 Punto he couldn't believe it wasn't written off with the damage to the '8' .

The damage is probably worse because the car has been in a minor collision before. See The Day from Hell? front bumper unremoval section of the thread.





Don't forget Guys and Gals Quattro is great for traction but if you hit ice you'll still be a passenger so please be careful in these conditions.

Take care

Steve

p.s. Mike how do you embed the photos into the thread?
