Hahaha, i got out and just laughed.
even if it was damaged i'd just repair it again. the good thing about a bar that i made myself is that anything that goes wrong with it can just be fixed all over again.

haha same thing happened in my XF..... i had a front on crash, my fault, so though id fix the damage myself
the damaged front bar sat on the veranda for a week while i tried to source a new one, then as i was getting in the car to pick the new one up, i looked over, and the plastic bumper had re formed into a perfect bar! from the heat in the sun! Needless to sy i didnt end up picking up that new bar. |

That was quite funny when we saw John driving around with half his rear bumper hanging off! It didn't stop him from sand drifting. Not even running on 5 cylinders stopped him from sand drifting!

Race tape (aka duct tape) does a good job too! That was John's solution for the weekend
