Someone backed into her last night and took off. Just the front bumper hopefully and easy fix. It needed paint cause of road chips anyway but ugh!

Right,I'm so pissed. But I'm still taking her out cause my 4 year old granddaughter has not been for a ride in her yet and time is getting short. Winter is upon us shortly.
It needs a repaint cause of it being a daily driver since new so hopefully I can get that thrown in with the insurance. A friend owns a really nice body shop.
Wish me luck. Maybe it's a blessing.

That sucks. I'm one of the lucky few on my street that has off street parking. In this neighborhood I wouldn't even try and own a nice car if it had to stay on the street.

I hope your insurance will cover the new paint job.

My new neighbor backup up and over my front bumper..left scuff marks and a tailpipe mark, barely missing the hood by a mm. He totally denied it. Just a coincidental he was parked in front of me the night befoe and he has a minivan with a tailpipe in that same exact location as where my mark is. I hate the fact that people feel doors are to stop other doors from swinging open and bumpers to tell you when your to close. I feel your pain..Peoaple just dont care

Well that's cool. It's the only Jag dealer around here. Had them do the RI inspection right after I bought her.

My assumption is whom ever hit me saw it was a Jag and thought oh sh t that's going to cost a lot and my insurance will go up, I'm out of here.

When I bought her I knew it would need a repaint. My son talked me into Dr color chip. Worked out great and I was happy. Now I'm forced into it. Like I said earlier it might be a blessing. I love BRG and if the repair or repaint isn't spot on ill be heart broken. I really love this car.
