first time for everything...

after a short trip to the supermarket to pick up a couple of bits for my mum, i was on my way home when i was involved in my first ever car accident!

luckily, it was only a very minor one, and was a result of the driver in front reversing into me after nearly being pulled through his window by someone who obviously wasnt happy with something he had done. an interesting scene, but not as interesting as seeing a car reversing towards you and obviously not stopping!
after a quick exchange of details and a quick inspection of both cars, they came off slightly worse but as a result, my front bumper is rather unsightly now. so was wondering how much it would cost for a replacement bumper? were not going to go through insurance as no one is hurt, and much less hassle, but my passenger (girlfriend) was quite badly shaken up by the experience. shes fine now, but what a day!

I've just had my Copperleaf bumper painted and a small dink on the back, cost me £160 and the match was superb.....
