I had a low speed crash into the back of a white van, it was a badly surfaced road, we were stopped, pulled away.... and the person in front of the van stopped for no reason, causing the van to tap the tow bar of the car in front and me in sympathy to do the same to the van.

I bumped into tho the white vans tow bar causing this small crack in my bumper...

Unfortunately it also set off the Pedestrian Safety system, where the bonnet pops up....
Which is a one use system....
You need to replace the bumper, rams, bonnet hinges and of course the ECU.

When the accident happened I called my dealer and asked them to collect the car and told them I would just pay for it without putting it through my insurance. Then I found out the total cost of the repairs.

Eleven Thousand Pounds.

I'm pleased to report the car has been repaired perfectly, even if it took 5 weeks!

But I fear GTR insurance won't be so cheap next year for any of us. Sorry about that! But don't do what I did. And if you hit a pedestrian, make sure you are reversing
