sorry to hear this Ash...... a scuff on a bumper is easily repairable, especially if you work in a repair shop, at least there wasn't serious damage! not the point i know, but could have been a lot worse......
i had this happen to me by a Royal Mail van in the car park at work (previous car, previous job).
a lot more damage though except i returned to my car with a smashed headlight, foglight, creased wing, split bumper with orangey-red paint scuffs all over it....... when i spoke to the RM depot manager he denied all knowledge and stated his van was undamaged........ even though it was the only orangey-red vehicle to have ever been in that car park.....

had to foot that bill myself...... spent all xmas week off work repairing / replacing all the damage....... first outing out.......wrote it off
some one did this to me at the last seat meet a week later it fell of a ramp so dont put ya car on a ramp
Certainly looks something light coloured.

That sounds like a proper nightmare!!! Like you say, at least mine is just a case of repainting. Hopefully might get rid of a few stone chips too! some one did this to me at the last seat meet a week later it fell of a ramp so dont put ya car on a ramp
It was on a ramp last week so hopefully i shouldn't have the same happen!
How much did you pay for your tyres, and where from? I've looked all over the net for them and can't find them in 205/40/17
smallest size they do are 215 / 40 R17's
paid £80 a corner fitted
Car repaired!
Well, first day back at work the car is repaired. Sanded back, primed and painted. Just need to polish the blends in the morning.
So car-less tonight, but glad to see it in good condition again.
Also, got the opposite side fog light surround piece painted while i was at it cos it was getting a bit chipped.

The car wouldnt have been done as quick if I had to remove the bumper. Plus, if I'd have taken the bumper off, i'd have wanted the whole thing painted and it would've taken a bit longer to get it all done. This was the quickest and easiest way for me to get the car done without it seeming like i was taking the p155 in my last week.
Although, the polythene has left strange marks on the car, so it's gonna need polishing.
But at least it will come off!looks a top quality job there mate, wouldn't mind having my bumpers done lol
Get them done then.
I didnt choose to have this done...... The car wouldnt have been done as quick if I had to remove the bumper.

Ah makes sense then
At least you got it done in your last week
Ah makes sense then
That's what I was more intent on doing - getting it done this week while I'm there.
Get them done then.
I would, but these things cost money lol

I know. Hasn't cost me.....yet! Hopefully it wont either!
Nope. Now officially un-employed and shitting it! Just dont want my money to drain but I know it soon will if I dont find something - the only thing is, there's nothing about!
That's Monday morning's job!
Do they look for work for you or is it just a case of they give you £50 until you find something?
That's Monday morning's job!
they'll look to see what suitable work is available on their system at the time and every 2 weeks when you sign on (or thats how it worked 8 years ago
)for that £50 a week they expect you to be pro-active in looking for work.
as said above, its a bit of £££ to keep you going.
Car still looking good
See mine about anymore?
You have to be actively seeking a job as well, apply to an agency mate...
He sold yours on as far as I'm aware - not seen it since that last meet I told you about, must be nearly 2 years ago now!

It's a tank of fuel a week and a bit extra - not that I use a tank a week! Luckily I'm still at home with my parents so dont NEED money, it's just sh1t not having any!
