No need to be embarrassed Espada, well, maybe a bit, actually quite a lot on reflection, but no one here will be judging you, well, only a little perhaps, or maybe, quietly, a bit more than that… You shouldn’t in any way shape or form be cross with yourself, disappointed yes, that would be appropriate I suppose… 😈

Dare I mention a scraped alloy? ? (Oh and I think I have one of those as well.... )

Maybe think about something a bit smaller next time? Jazz or something perhaps? Y’know as the faculties dwindle… 😉

22 year old Corolla with peeling lacquer. I already have an 18 year old Punto which has been heavily nudged on almost all panels apart from the roof. Ideal really. Going in for its 15th MoT on Monday... I may give the Ioniq to my daughter....

Sounds like good way to get a matching set of alloys anyway… 😬

I think you have to put the damage to the front of your car behind you and move on… Just maybe don’t put it too close behind anything else in future. 😂

I suspect the cost of replacing and painting a new front assembly will be scrotum crushingly expensive. You do know you're supposed to tap your card on the machine, don't you? ...18 year old Punto ... Going in for its 15th MoT on Monday... Did it miss one somewhere?

It's a South Korean SUV thing, pointy bits of plastic with brittle paint. The Soul has a few chips in the paint not caused by hitting things but things hitting it e.g. small stones. Kind of gravel rash.
Alloys used to be like kerb magnets for my wife, not with this car though, so I won't mention it and everything will carry on as is.

Wasn't there a one year sabbatical during COVID lockdown ?

Oh yes - well, half-yes, now I look it up - a six month moratorium from March 2020. Didn't affect me as my anniversary is in October, but presumably the tests still had to be done, just six months later than usual.

First MoT was in September 2007 - so you're right. 16th MoT. I did not miss one due to Covid.
