Hahaha, i got out and just laughed.
even if it was damaged i'd just repair it again.
the good thing about a bar that i made myself is that anything that goes wrong with it can just be fixed all over again.

haha same thing happened in my XF..... i had a front on crash, my fault, so though id fix the damage myself
the damaged front bar sat on the veranda for a week while i tried to source a new one, then as i was getting in the car to pick the new one up, i looked over, and the plastic bumper had re formed into a perfect bar! from the heat in the sun!

Needless to sy i didnt end up picking up that new bar.

That was quite funny when we saw John driving around with half his rear bumper hanging off! It didn't stop him from sand drifting. Not even running on 5 cylinders stopped him from sand drifting!

Race tape (aka duct tape) does a good job too! That was John's solution for the weekend
