My first saxo crash......Now With Pics!
well, im guttted, i smashed my saxo up 
going round a corner it was too tight so i had to hit a ditch, it has wreked my front bumper, and bent the frame on the bottom, and twisted the radiator, took it too a body shop, it will be 300 quid if i get my own bumper, and that doesnt include spraying it, so im gutted! i dont know how i am going to get 300quid!
anyway, i will get pics up tmz, but does anyone have a mk2 posi blue bumper for sale?

unlucky mate, least your alright
do you not have a job?
have a look around scrap yards, ask frenchautoparts if he has a bumper...
also you just need a saxo vt bumper, doesnt matter if its mk1 or mk2 they are the same

Sorry to hear that mate, it sucks big time. But the way to look at it is its only a few bits and your insurance wont go up and your car aint a write off, and most of all your ok. Bumpers are cheap as fuck too bud, have a look on ebay.

I didn't say you were flying into it, I just said you must have gone to fast for the corner. So 15mph could/would have been to fast for the corner, example. :Y:

well, i cant really explain it, i was keeping the same speed, so didnt SLAM on my brakes, the corner is one that like is allmost 180 degress, and i didnt know it atall, so it was just a surprise,still dont understand why i did crash at 15mph, but it is really narrow, and really tight
