Grrrr!

 

Some prize knobber has crashed into my Punto and driven off :(

 

My other half was parked up at a local retail park place and when she came out she noticed a crack in the front bumper - having now cleaned the car and opened the bonnet the damage is as follows:

 

Cracked / scratched bumper

Bent metal bracket that the bumper fastens to

Bent metal 'thing' that runs along the front of the car in front of the radiator, looks structural

The above has been pushed into the rad and this now has bent fins

All 3 headlamp brackets smashed on passenger side and one on drivers

Bonnet latch bent back (bonnet won't close properly now I've opened it)

 

Looks like they have reversed into the car at quite a speed, black plastic on black plastic so no paint showing and pushed the bumper in woth enough force to bend everything behind it :(

 

£400 excess on that policy too because it's in her name to build up some NCB and she's only young so gets additional loading :(

 

Going to see if CCTV caught anything but I'm not confident :(

 

BAH!!! Could do with someone driving into us again so they can pay for the repairs :(

True, could have been worse but we are already having loads of problems with 'Polly' and it's in the garage tomorrow for those looking at (Electrical - usual Fiat stuff!) - I was hoping it would all be 100% again :(

 

Mrs Lady is currently looking at Max Power forums to find chavs who have taken the standard bumpers off to stick nasty ones on :)

I did find the woman responsible... my lady has come clean, she crashed into someone pulling onto a roundabout and was too scared to tell me - I must be an ogre :)

 

I'm not though :) It's one of those that's easily done, apparently the car in front pulled out and then slammed on when on the roundabout for no visible reason. Ah well, at least it wasn't the Supra.
