I've gone and done the unthinkable and reversed into a bollard
.
I was doing a quick turn and even though the PDC was screaming at me to stop, I carried on and whacked the bollard.
Question is, does anyone have at least the lower diffuser to sell (the car is silver grey in colour)?
Maybe from being replaced with a carbon fibre version?!?
Or any advice as to how easy it would be to repair?
I have attached some pics of the damage and yes, I deserve to be stoned for hurting my baby
.

You don't need to replace that, any bodyshop can fix that easily. However, if you want to use it as an excuse to add carbon fibre, then by all means. ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)
