What is directly behind the lower part dead centre of the rear heatshield? also the boot step/well slightly dented and pushed the padding up to the carpet pushing the left black screw out just wondering if anything major is in and around that part.

I was driving back home and a motorbike was behind the rider fell off and his bike slid under the rear of the car so the damage is all very low down dead centre,he's admitted fault etc and its going in to a local place to access the damage.

Hi yes police were called by me ,i actually knew the officer which helped got all the usual details, independent witnesses etc, he admitted at the scene his bike throttle stuck malfunctioned ,also being rear end the insurance saying it's pretty clear who's at fault plus I have photos of the damage it was his front end my rear so not much he can contest was doing about 10mph.The insurance checked out and he even called to apologise seems genuine enough works for a superbike race team travelling as a mechanic lol.

Was hoping my old car had gone to a good home !..... Never mind... superficial I think, and will give you the chance to get the scratch behind the number plate done (a previous muppet) ....

Not a great start, but hope you get to enjoy it soon...

Scratch behind the rear numberplate didn't even know will get it sorted same time, had it looked at today the parts are getting ordered with Maserati, new bumper, bootwell/step the plastic part is cracked ,heat shield the rear metal plate has a slight dent but its not a replacement job and a bit of padding has snapped could of been alot worse for him and the car i think,especially if he hadn't already hit the floor and was still on the bike.

Ive already ordered spacers and a private plate will go on apart from that think will leave it pretty much how it is .

I didn't know either till i put a short plate on it.... I had it touched in - but far from perfect... but it was not bad enough to have sprayed....but always bothered me as the rest of the car was mint..

Be lovely again soon enough I'm sure ....
