Ding_Dong Fiesta Fan Registered: 16/11/05 Posts: 119 Loc: That would be telling...	Just reversed my shiney ST into a low rise wall!! - that was actually taking up half of a parking bay.. .. Luckily the Metal Tow Hoop on the back bumber took the full grunt of it. Bloody Wall, who's idea was it to put it there?!!!

Chin up, cars still on the road, ur unhurt, all you have to think really... _________________________

I happened to reverse a hire car into a post last night in Brighton.....but the scuff was so teeny i was able to rub most of it off. Don't tell Enterprise Rentals though!! _________________________ 171bhp BTB 4-2-1 Manifold, FIA Homologated Sport Cat, Group N Rear Section Click here for my ST Group N rally replica

The bumpers are quite good on the ST - a few months back I did the opposite of you and drove slightly too eagerly into a parking bay and hit the front bumper against the wall, fortunately despite the nasty sound I heard there was no damage done at all, hope its the same in your case. _________________________
