when i saw this i was suprised as to how little damage the front bumper seems to have taken

shouldnt be long tho before its back on the road, iv got some depo's home made if your intrested in a set btw means as your missing a light...

Yeah your right actually, odd bonnet made from steel n that's trashed yet bumper is fine! All that happend on bumper is paint come off abit and the 2 side mountings have been snapped off! Glad it hasn't smashed bumper in tbh and yeahh ill let u know bout depo's pal, both my headlights have ripped of the brackets too

I must admit I painted my bonnet on my old brocade black when the laquer peeled while I was waiting for my new brocade bonnet to turn up and I started to like it more in black than brocade! good work so far though mate
