Yeah, not too bad, XM suffered smashed grill and lights, cracked bumper. Very luckily, no metal was bent at all, am very thankful for that...
I am in the market for a grey series 1 grille though

Robert,
Yep, met Rog on Friday night and he kindly loaned me the silver grille, just until I can get one sorted myself. Looks a bit off, but better than a gaping black hole, and exposed bonnet release mechanism
Dean, the only reason I'm taking it so well is the damage was minor, no metal bent... if it'd been properly damaged or written off I'd be in a corner somewhere quietly rocking
I've been meaning to post up a thread about it, just been so damn busy this past fortnight.
