CLK Coupe 200 Komp 53 Plate
Unhappy Some 1 Has Hit My Car

My car was parked in the Carpark at work and someone has reversed into the front number plate.

Broke the plate and pushed the surrond into the bumper cresing the lacqure and causing small scratches on teh paint.

Not happy only had it a month.

Good thing though he went into the recpetion and gave his details and said he done it, so i'll get it sorted.

Regards

Neil

Good thing the person who caused this accident admitted it.

I have heard of stories about new cars being hit without a clue who the trouble maker was.

Sorry to hear. The car will be back to normal in no time at all. Maybe you can even get a new kit while you are at it (assuming insurance pays for everything)...

Be creative.

Unhappy And then there is me...

2,000 miles on my babied, Zaino'd 320 CLK...which I tonight slammed into the back of an Explorer...

Hood is folded up like a tent.

Grill is smashed in.

Will find out tomorrow the real damage...could barely drive it home...think the power steering is screwed up.

Not sure who was more upset me, or my wife...she's concerned that I am going to kill myself one of these days.

Luckily no one was hurt.

And I had the hump some 1 had hit my car thats worse than mine they recon that there re-spray the Front bumper and it will need a new number plate bracket and plate about £300 about $500 all in.

Hope your ok and yours aint as bad as it sounds

Thanks. Everyone's ok, I was just badly shaken up.

Of course, the Explorer didn't even have a scratch!

It was the combination of the low profile of the CLK hitting the high bumper (like a rock) of the Explorer.

It caught at the top of my grill, smashed in the grill, pushed in the rad (and who knows what), and the hood is all folded up.

Caused quite a scene amongst the neighbours as I was able to (barely) drive it home. Fortunately, the tow truck took it away early this morning before more people could see it.
