so a quick 2 second dash to the shop turned into a bit of a ballache..
some muppet tried parking his landrover and the side rail caught the corner of my bumper.
Luckily however, due to saxo bumpers being so flimsy, it snapped clean off with the brackets all still bolted to the car lol which meant the car itself wasnt damaged at all





managed to crawl it home



and got to work removing the bumper which basically fell off lol



ordered another good condition bumper in the same quartz silver and chopped off the splitter with a dremel



then set about making it a clean equal cut the whole way round, which turned out to be a huge ball ache and took about an hour lol



then screwed on my old laguna splitter from the old bumper. 2 reasons for this, 1 is looks and 2 is that its bendy, so due to catching the splitter on everything on a daily basis it just flexes. The standard saxo splitter is hard plastic, so wouldnt last 2 minutes. I'd probably snap the bumper off the first speed bump



lastly, i swapped the tinted fogs over from the old bumper, wacked on my number plate and bolted it onto the car



Anyone want a spare silver bumper with no brackets and no splitter lol?
