I dont think there was a vehicular right of way through their garden, you should check with the local council before removing what might/might not be an illegal obstruction :mrgreen:


Oh dear Ed thats never good! be careful out there on the road!

We could all team up and buy Ed some filler for his truck ;)
I don't need filler, I need a new bullbar and mounts. The dents look like they'll push out mostly.

Yes. I made a deal with the houseing association that own the house. They'll leave my insurance alone if I replace the fence.

Right, here's the pictures of the damage my truck suffered.

First of all the deformed bullbar

And that's about it.

So:

Paintwork
NS wing indicator cover
Bullbar and mounts
Dents in grill/wing from bullbar hitting headlight grills (hopefully they'll push out)
Bumper (If I can get the bugger off)
and one of my rear hub cap things, but the metal bracket and the platic cover. (I may not bother with these)

Luckily, there's apparently a Suzuki breakers in Immingham, so I'll probably bounce over there in the easter holidays.
