She's only gone and pranged it
I am away this week and called by SWMBO - she reversed into a bleeding post and smashed the light cluster
bumper maybe dented too
Its only 3 weeks old
She said in her defence that the parking sensors didnt work.
NOT a happy bunny
Need to order new cluster from TLO and up the priority on the Reverse Camera with BodsyD4 HSE - Aintree Green

I feel your pain, though I've reversed my D3 into SWMBO's Jazz. Twice. I blamed the parking sensors as well. First time they were broken, second time I thought the continuous tone was that they were broken again.

glosboy, you also need to get a winch so you can "protect" the front bumper Duncan

I feel your pain If the bumper just has a dint in it a bodyshop may be able to heat it up and reshape it, they did this on my Pathfinder when my front bumper met with a deer's head Cheers Ian

Hang on, hang on, what was she doing in your new car!! Surely a case of TWOCing!!
Dont want to be the grim reaper here, but last time I looked the light cluster is level with all sorts of other metal bits
Must have been a large post too to be that high
I think pictures are needed so we can decide if SWMBO is being a tad light with the info.
My missus had dented her C3 twice in its fist 9 months....thats why she drives a C3
PS. if you work for the same mob as me (think you may do) there goes this years GDP payment Cheers Ian

DSL - I bought it she drives it - I put too many miles on a car
Bodsy - she WILL be getting the reverse camera so once I get back from the US next week I'll try to book us in with you
OutofYorkshire - think you maybe right GDP just evaporated.
