Tim, sorry to hear about your little disaster, I think it will polish out easy.........

It's all very Eco friendly I'm sure, saves weight and its 100% recyclable, just not very strong. I was amazed at the amount of damage to the interior trim on the tailgate. My local dealers, Morrisons of Stirling are working out a quote for me too.

In your picture, I had no idea a Lada had parking sensors Wink

On the flip side, now the rattle has stopped, you can offer JLR to inspect the cause of it from your tailgate for a "small" fee.

Ouch indeed.

I hope you get it sorted out quickly Tim.

Sorry about your little disaster.... Are you sure it wasn't a tiger Woods scenario and someone had a shot with a golf club and you tried avoiding it and instead hit a tree? You could easily have sold that story...
Anyway, when are you down in London.... We could have a Fuji only meet up... I see about 3 on the way nearly everyday...

I'm just about to pop into Park Royal Screw-Fix or B&Q as it has been suggested I should peel off the silver gaffer tale and replace it with some white gaffer tape so the temporary fix isn't quite so obvious! Now why didn't I think of that in the first place! Thanks for the suggestion James@Hadley Green.
Just back....... Loads of silver and black, green and yellow even "transparent" which isn't really transparent, but no White in stock!

there's a homebase on the A40 not far from the B&Q - maybe give that a try.
