Its been a while since I made any postings - and somewhat unfortunate that on this occasion it's to seek solace and sympathy over a small bit of bad news.
A couple of weeks ago, whilst parked at the golf club, some 'tosser' reversed into the front of my 4200, dinged it and drove off without reporting it. Whilst the damage is not overly extensive, it does appear to need a new calendar, grille, and most likely the whole front bumper section.
Pictures attached. It's hard to see from the pics but the bumper has been compressed, fracturing the paintwork (look like long scratches) but its also somewhat mis-shapen.
Of course it'll be an insurance job, but on my excess / premium, however this does lead me to consider the possibility of staying with the original front or do I / can I change to a GS front? My bad luck does does also create other opportunity too - the front was quite badly stone chipped, the side lights are full of sand and maybe now I can get that proper chrome grille insert fitted also.
Any thoughts and inputs greatly appreciated?
