Can you not get a localised repair done on it Duncan.
If it doesn't work out too well, do as Derek said and apply a small sticker ie GB ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

You're a very brave and honest man to say you reversed into the post.
Nowadays it's either blaming the wife or that the post miraculousy happened to find it's way to damaging the vehicle.

i just jumped out at me..... honest

thats the problem with this stupid keyless entry and push button start in the D4. if the keys had been hanging from the ignition then the key fob wouldnt have been pressed

I need to remember to check and double check that the post is down. for some reason the rear parking sensors didnt go off either

all this technogy make you unobservant.. Duncan

With your massive driveway drive in, get turned and face out the way rather than reversing!! Then you can blame SpecSavers if you hit it again!!
