As you probably know I was involved in an accident on the way to the last cruise. You can check the pics out at the bottom of my page (http://neilk.customer.netspace.net.au/mag.htm).
When I called the repairers who upgraded my front the first thing they jokingly said was "And what are you going to be bolting to the rear now?" cos they had a bit of struggle trying to do it.
Now the joke may be on them, i don't know but is there another better alternative to the TF rear bumper? may as well look into it while is is practicable!
Any advice welcome

ummm yes it is, and I bought a white car cos it is supposed to be one of the safest colours, though a girl I know who is supposed to be able to 'read into things' said that she has 'read' my car and says it is bad news for me... now she is rubbing it in! Oh didn't everyone know my cars name is Christine? lol

Very true, i reckon his car is cursed, he just can't stop having car accidents! Anyways, i can't think of anything else but a normal rear bumper

Man I feel soooooo sorry for you :cry: 3 Accidents in a short period of time, that sucks :(
I guess it might be a sign for you to start modding your car and not use accidents as an excuse to! :D

As for the rear bumper...Find a white TL and rip the bumper off it :)

KH verada rear bar would look good I reckon, but I am not sure how the total look on the car would be with the normal TH front bar. You might want to do a photochop of your car to get a good idea :confused:

I am in Sunny Vic! but sounds interesting, thanks.

Was just thinking about a rear tow bar now but I am concerned that it wont fit in with the redback there. I looked at TH vs TF today, and I cant really see much difference between

It does seem that white cars are cursed... I crashed the Verada twice, somebody hit me once, and I ran over myself with it.

just get another bar like form wrecker so it cheap, while the painting it ask them to bog up the indent in the rear bar then paint it in white, specially in white the back will look FAT!

Heard a few talk about doing that... do I really want the rear to look chunkier?...hmmm. Do you reckon after a number of years the bog might fall out? Thanks for the idea.
