12 years of driving, the inevitable.

[cup-sy]

12 years of driving and I have never been in any sort of accident. Tried to parallel park between two SUVs. I didn't notice the pole....

After crying on the inside I decided to do something productive:

Sticker was put on today.

So...anyone want to recommend me a good bodyshop in Essex, specifically Basildon, Chelmsford, Billericay area?

Is it not central? Ive not got my glasses on me so cant quite tell

That's worse than what I done last summer - backed into a concrete pillar (you know the ones that hold up the next floor in a multi-story)

Came out with a tiny scratch but the bumper needed sprayed anyway so it didn't bother me much lol

Bad news matey, but not bad for 12 years driving and could have been a lot worse.

9 years and I never crashed...well apart that time with the s2000...and that other one with the mini and the bike...and the last time with the clio...ehm

I guess you're very lucky or a very good driver!!

[chrispy.clio]

Note to all, do not try to put "inside" stickers on a very cold morning. I even taped a ruler on the outside since the top brake light is approx 30.5 cm. There was meant to be 4.5cm from the edge of the taped ruler, but with cold hands, and the actual sticker being "frozen" it was a pain, I even had to manual put some letters on because they just were not sticking.

The botton part either side of the url is missing also.

Sticker is pissed. Most of those marks will come out until you get it sorted mate. Ive found wd40 and a bit of elbow grease will work. Or t-cut (you'll get it sprayed eventually anyways)

Station Coachworks in Dunmow are supposed to be really good but not used them personally.
