someone busted up my rear driver side lip and scuffed up my bumper...

i was parked at my friend's condo and some dumbass hit my car while on his/her way out of the parking spot. i left a lot of space for him/her to get out and i still get hit. didn't leave anything. just hit and run...

i'll post up some pictures of the damage later on. i just need to cool off. i got my rear driver side lip and bumper held together by a zip tie so it doesn't go all flimsy on the highway.

i'm so devastated because you all know that i love my RA so much

i cleaned it up a bit so it doesn't look as bad but bottom line is my rear lip and bumper is still busted...

no, other motorists will be able to see your under-carriage from behind

just a question, doesn anyone know if it was claimed what sort of repercussion there would be?

aww i was hoping to just take it off and leave it off for now until i find a nice kit to put on but i guess i should just leave it on -- zip tie style loool

i dont think i can claim it bc i have a one-way policy. i gotta get that checked out and talk to my insurance provider to see what they can do for me.

wish me luck!

You guys should be watching this season's Canada's Worst Driver, all I'm going to say is Margherita Donato.....

HTA states:
HTA OREG 611 Vehicle Safety Inspections
Schedule 1
1. (1) The body, sheet metal and equipment shall be inspected and tested for conditions hazardous to occupants, pedestrians or vehicles and,
(a) no bumper, fender or mudguard shall have been removed;
(b) each bumper shall be securely mounted;
(d) no bumper, fender, molding or other part shall have a broken, bent or sharp edge that protrudes in such a way as to constitute a hazard to persons or vehicles;

Repercussions would be a ticket and fine. One might get lucky with a warning to get it fixed if they have a good story for why they are driving without one.

Your going to have all of the holes where it normally would mount, around 12 exposed. There might be a slight color difference based on it being covered up, and finally there might be some scratching where the lip and bumper met. Tackle it and let us know , post up some pics before and after too
