I'll try and take some on my phone at lunch time. Its pretty much the whole of the passenger side front bumper that got it where the foglight is. Would t-cut or a touch up pen be good for it?

ouchies buddy
Guess you can't really claim off their company's insurance as it's an act of god kind of thing! But you're still left with the damage!
I hope you can clean it up!

One of those things im worried about driving specially hitting animals as well, get a picture of it mate might be worth giving the chips away mobile people to come and have a look i had mine done last week cost me £45 i got stone chip repaired.

If it makes you feel any better this morning on the way to work i hit a bird of some sort and i have a massive red splatter mark on my wheel arch size of a basketball, having only just washed it yesterday.

yeah just trying tomake inquiries about it. didnt really see the lorry it came off. There was a car in front of me that ran it over and flicked it up into the air. I couldnt avoid it and thats how it got me . there was a cement mixer but that had all its tyres still intact. Thats not good about yours stason. tried taking a pic of it but with the bright sunlight all im getting is reflections of the background. i'll try when its darker.
Wish i stayed at home this morning now

If Gary claims it will go agaist his insurance and... upppppppp go his premiums for "having an accident".

This is the very reason that i didn't make a claim against the idiot that hit me about 2 months ago.
