ADMIN Posts: 2366 Location: Chesterfield ish kinda sort of | What I think was a badger decided to walk in front of my car last night, luckily I was slowing down at the time and what ever the creature was was gone when I got out of the car to check. Damaged the corner of the bumber and dented the front of the wing a little Let the dismantling begin! Damaged front wing, Luckily I was planning on replacing it eventually anyway. Pit hammer, block of wood, Brute force, let the bumper shaping begin! DAAAAAMN I'm good Rat look anyone? Now just to respray the bumper! Bloody Badgers! | ||

'88 MG METRO 1300 Posts: 1117 Location: Dudley, Midlands | I dunno dude... for a start that looks way to high up to have been a badger!? And that point of impact is a bit small, and enough to distort on a crease line? Also, is that a bit of blue paint transfer too?? Looks more like you hit something hard than flesh and bone!?! Perhaps a victim of ar$eholes thinking it's funny to leave things in the road to cause accidents...? | ||

They're fitted to all the A-series Automatics as standard I believe, I'll take some pics of the piping and fittings for you.. | ||
