Bitter sweet though as it was a relic of the concrete jungle that has caused the damage.

Good effort Tim, if you're going to do it, do it properly

Ouch Tim

Hope you get it sorted swfitly and with little fuss......

Ali.

No parking sensors??

Ouch! hope it isn't too painful to get repaired.

hmm,a high value product indeed.

That looks like an expensive fix!

Bad news Tim, fixable and I'm sure Lookers will get it back to like brand new.

how fast where you driving. Once replaced will be good as new.

Have you tried T-cutting it out

Doug, about 2-3mph astern...........
SCLack, I have sensors but the support upright was about 1.5m from the high bit I struck which was the curved end piece of the safety rail, so the parking sensors didn't get close enough to sound and the small diameter was not that apparent in the reversing cam.

Here's a diagram of how I did it, as I'm away from home on iPhone it's 90degrees rotated until I can get into photobucket full edition and rotate it


The guys at Park Royal could do the job but by the time I get to them it would only give the 3 days and the service manager David says that he doubts their men could do a proper job in that time. One thing I have noticed since it happened........... No more rattles from the tailgate area!
