This is what you get when you leave something in the road.

Driving along seen object in middle of road couldn't move out of the way as there was a car next to me or break. So from what I can see at the moment it's smashed a chunk of me gear box away. And also cracked the back of my bumper where it must of flicked up. So in need of a new bumper
Getting it on ramp tomorrow to see if there is any more damage underneath.

So annoyed dont know what to do!

[ntcupra]

I know mate! So pissed off, I'm already on the look for a rear bumper same colour as mine tho, mine one hasn't long been sprayed too! And can't be bothered to get one in a different colour

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

What the hell is it anyway

 

[ntcupra]

I really don't know, its quite heavy, Hopfully someone on here might know

Looks like someone forgot to put the pin in the bottom so it feel off. More than likely fell of a digger or something similar on a trailer.

 

[ntcupra]

What ever it is its sure messed my car up Cham bet you was glad you wasn't driving around down here today lol

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Yeah by the looks of it mate

I had a brick smash my old blacck cupras sump off whilst i was going to seat to have the brake vacuum pipe recall

Can you not go to the council or anyone and make a claim? Like when a pot hole damages wheels lol

 

[ntcupra]

Went to my local police station and said about it and they said nothing can be done about it which I thought they was going to say that but was worth a try

 

[jackwoodcock]

****! That looks a hefty chunk of metal!

 

[ntcupra]

****! That looks a hefty chunk of metal!

Yep, I'll be scraping it after from what it owes me lol

 

[jackwoodcock]

Lol!! If it was lead or copper you coulda been on to a winner

 

[ntcupra]

Been on the ramp gearbox will be ok, there's a mark on the fuel tank so just got to replace the rear bumper now

It's a location/lock down pin off an lorry trailer, the sort that carry the 20' or 40' containers for shipping stuff around the world, most of them are welded on but some trailers have sliding ones so they can be adjusted to take odd size containers.

^^^^^Correct, that's exactly what it is.
