My sad yellow Ibiza ;-)

[Jille]

Combining a slope, Dutch traffic jams, a slippery brake-pedal, a boring car and a cool Yellow one can lead to the following:

Last week, I accidentily slipped off my brake pedal while I was standing on a slope. In front of my Yellow Beauty, a brand-new Volvo XC90 was waiting in front of me... The guy was on his way from the dealer to a customer... My speed was below 5km/h when I hit him, but gravity did it's job when I hit the "armoured car", which a Volvo is, in my opinion

Too bad. Maybe I should ask the bodyshop to put the facelifted FR-bumper on it!

doesnt look like it needs a new bumper could be removed and new front upper grill and then replacing if there is scratches they can be polished out as i cant even realy see them re align the bonnet job done good excuse to uprate the bumper now they hey

well, it's not only the grille, there are quite a few cracks in the bumper... let's just hope it will be replaced

 

[rashcupra]

if there is cracks it will most probably be replaced unless the garage as plastic repair tol like my work does can you get a pic of the cracks? if its being done under insurance they will replace with same bumper as you have im afraid

We (Uncle Fester) managed to T-Cut Richies when some nutter woman piled into that at a meet, however he didn't have any cracks in his

yeah looked a mess to! im glad i didt have to drive home like it was! would have had peeps thinking *watch out of him rubbish driver**learn to drive*

 

[RichieRich]

get some audi TT pedals which have rubber inserts in metal insted of just plastic! will make sure your beauty doesnt hit anything again like that! also look quite nice!

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Or just get the Cupra ones which are pretty much the same

 

[RichieRich]

he would still have to buy them to... a genuine audi TT part in my car

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Yep they defo look just like the Cupra ones..

I wonder if it would be cheaper to get them from SEAT or AUDI

 

[RichieRich]

vagparts.com probably less than a tenner each then delevery *means u dont have to goto dealer one week then go back a week later to pick them up* just cross match the part nubers in the FAQ mk4 ibiza parts list...

 

[Jille]

I already have the metal Seat Sport ones:

not too slippery, but my new (and wet) shoes did it :'(
This afternoon, the car is checked by an expert.... fingers crossed I can convince him to put a FR or Cupra bumper on it ;-)

 

[danmay]

thats not too bad against an old ovlov xc90, they look like and are built like tanks!
hopefully the dealer will be compliant with your cupra bumper request too

Could have been a lot worse! Hope it gets sorted soon!
