2nd day I had my car, a large dog ran out in the road. Hitting it was unavoidable. That was a year and a half ago, I'm yet to replace the front bumper. Instead, I bought a bra and cover up all the cracks and damage.
I've hit something else since then too, now the other side of the front bumper is messed up. hopped a couple curbs and scuffed up my sweet wagon wheels too.

only managed to scuff up my wonderful wagon wheels instead of destroying them so I could get new ones.
Fixed......
