Well bad news... people who have me as a friend on facebook may already know that i had a little bump. Basically I was kinda asking for it really. I needed to turn left at a junction so indicated for an appropriate amount of time and then slipped into a pretty small gap. The guy infront put his indicator on to turn to a left before mine and started to turn. he then braked so i braked... then he went... and then he slammed on and i went straight into the rear drivers of his brown astra :/ Some foreign dude anyway. I drove down the side road and parked up and went to see him and he just left his car in the middle of the road. I told him he should move it in so he did. We looked at the damage but most of the white dusty stuff came off to reveal a scuff across his bumper... He said some kids on bmxs went straight infront of him so he had to slam on... he asked me what i wanted to do... I didnt admit i was in the wrong but obviously i was for being too close in the first place. I offered to share my insurance details but he didnt particularly want to know, so i offered him £30 cash to fix it up but he declined that. he asked me again what I wanted to do and I just said 'Well the perfect option would be that I drive away without going to insurance and we just call it even'. he agreed. We shook hands and left :/ Little bit I think as I was in the wrong for going into the back of him... I guess he thought he was in the wrong for slamming on :/
Anyway... damage didnt look bad in the dark but its a bit of a bugger now ive checked in the day light...

Just a bit of a bugger about the black masks having their clips broken and my mint bumper now being scuffed. Little chip on the bonnet but all in all it seems to have survived very well!
