Got into a very very small fender bender this morning :(

The Fb is ok...just one side of the front bumper looks to be a little popped out. Now i REALLy have an excuse to remove it and get it painted LOL! But she is fine all the mechanicals ,lights and stuff, work except one of my turning lenses cracked (if your are looking at the car from the front, the front left lens is cracked). It was my fault to...ugh thats why it sucks. It was at a yeild sign and he was about to get on the side (axis) road before it turns into the highway and I thought he took off...BUT NOPE! He was still there...it was too late for me to brake PLUS the road was wet to.......... that definetly did not help my cause . Oh well these things happen. Thans why we have insurance. Ill fix that bumper very soon. sorry this was more of a vent post....My poor Fb ......She is a tropper though...these things do take a licking!!

are you sure it didnt just "unhook" the fender from the front bumper? you may need a new bumper shock.

luckily it wasnt as bad as my recent fender bender:
