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.

Definitely looks repairable, but it is a good excuse to mod!
