Front Bumper fell off!

hovis44 · Feb 1, 2015

I don't know what went wrong, but as soon as I pulled into a workshop over the weekend, the front bumper fell off! Wasn't much of a loss as it was broken on the N/S quarter, but after it went, the front looked like this...

I have no idea how it came to come off so completely or so quickly, but it wasn't really such a loss. But then a miracle happened, the fairies and elves worked hard for an hour or two, and then we had...

Which was a step in the right direction! :clap2: So today, after a bit of motorway salt removal, replacement of obligatory signage, I am left with this!:-

Personally, I love the new look.

What do you think?

I actually really like that. Its a mod but a subtle one so goes down far better than when folk weld RSJ's to the front ends

Quite.

I want to have a car that will do stuff without having an embolism about doing it, without going extreme!

I read the title of this post and thought "How the F... did his bumper fall off?" I had to take mine off to fit my spotlights and it certainly didnt just "fall off"!

Love the "front fell off" sketch though!

If you're going to call them, don't mention the V8 race engine they dropped on the floor....
