in heavy heavy traffic

the car infront slows to a stop

i slow to a stop

i look in my rear view and i think wow that car isnt gonna stop

i went apeshit at first then apologised to the guy saying sorry for loosing my cool

he said sorry and admitted he wasnt paying attention and takes the full blame

and half of chapel street had a good laugh

that doesnt look too bad

i had a hit like that ages ago, was gone for 1 week

1 week is reasonable, they might have to pull the boot out a bit

make sure you check if it aligns up properly when u get it back

and also make sure the boot opens / closes properly

That sucks!

Get it checked properly, you may need:

- rear bar skin (S1 and S2 are the same)

- rear bar reo

- rear tail lights (if mounts are broken or rear plastic cracked)

- rear "SKYLINE" fascia (if mounts are broken)

- repairs to rear quarters, boot lid, and tail gate.

May take time and a bit of work to do it properly. If it's not done right you'll keep having on going issues with water in your tail light indicators.

im hoping to take it to "DT Panels"

My call is as follows

Rear bar

Rear bar rio

Boot floor

Rear panel

Skyline fascia

Skyline badge

Trust me, I know about these bloody rear enders.

Will be off the road for about 2 week once all the parts are in stock.

BASS OUT

Exactly the same thing, happened to me but I was at the lights!

My quote was

TOTAL $3,346.00

FURTHER DAMAGE MAY BE FOUND ON DISMANTLE

PARTS PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

It looks almost exactly the same but just imagine, your big dent on the right!

Such a horrible feeling!
