Absolutely gutted, whilst my car was in reverse gear, clearly my brain wasn't in any gear. Backing out of my garage yesterday and running a little late, for reasons that are still not clear, despite the sound of the parking sensors, and obviously a location I know well, I managed to hit a cast metal railing! The damage is to the rear bumper cover and consists of two dents and a vertical line in the plastic.
I am planning on taking the car to a body shop I know in Sunningdale - 'Fastlane', and hopefully with a heat gun they can remove the dents, colour the effected area, and the re-lacquer the moulding. That will be a **** of a lot cheaper than a new part of course.
I can only say I am still banging my head against any available wall for my absolute stupidity and lack of attention!!!
