I was stopped at the red light, and suddenly, from nowhere, a teen with a red old Renault, stopped on my baby's back.
I saw him from my rear view mirror when he was moving closer and closer, he was looking at the shop windows and then, boooooom on my baby, with no brakes at all. My car stopped him.
He was moving with about 30km.
Shit, :thumbsdown: Bad day for me today.

For me, i think that there is more damage, than just only the bumper.

It appears that the damage was confined to the bumper. If so, that is a very good thing. It's a simple replacement. I would only be really upset if there was damage to the metal that required body work and paint. It seems you don't have that. Did the other driver have insurance in force?

Such a nice car and now the back is gone.
Is there something on your new supersprint exhaust too? Hopefully for you not...

soon Hamann will come out w 4 pipes add-on exclusively for ///M tech rear, so I made the good choice

I worry about the inner parts of the car's rear body.
Also the around the plate part of the trunk needs repainting. There are scratches from the Renault's headlights broken glasses there.
Now, yes an ///M rear is a must.
