That's sad news, hopefully you can get it fixed easily. I recently bought a 2009 Focus and I like it.

It wasn't a crash though, hooli has been to my house and where I park is made harder by the cunt across the road parking directly opposite my drive. My focus has to go on the drive in reverse and slightly Katy cornered as its easier to drive off of than reverse off. There's an incline on the pavement and driveway is inclined up too. Ice doesn't help when car drifts slightly as there's next to no room for error

Either wing and bumper or try and fill bumper and respray,maybe do same to the wing thinking about it as the wings are solid and the car is magnum grey which is mainly seen on the st170 which tends to command a premium for parts.

It's certainly narrow when going up backwards and diagonally due to prick across the road. I felt it start to drift so looked to driver side and seen the post and wall getting close. dropped back to drive and roll forwards then went back to reverse and it just slid again.

Doesn't count as merely a flesh wound and still runs + drives the same.
