Due to rain, no visibility, NO REAR WINDSCREEN WIPER?, and no reversing camera/sensors i now have this to deal with
Yes i know its not THAT bad, but still, my car is my everything and its been so well looked after, and im so damn careful its not funny

Hmmm the brown stuff is just tree stump remenants, should come/wash/rub off...
The scrapes... hmm - also looks like it's flexed the plastic enough to cause paint too flake/crack. Unfortunately, that's how they designed things to happen...
First scrape/bump of your car is always the worst.... we've all been there... she'll be right... eventuallly.

Yeah most of the brown is mud/tree stuff, but the dark L-shape is a crack in the bumper, oh well im happy that its on the bumper and not the door or something worse... ill get a quote from a family friend that does panel beating, should be right

Looks really bad. Yeah, I really wish our cars came with rear wipers. Seriously, it makes life easier having one. How I missed my wagon which had one. Can only rely on side mirrors in rain. Hope you fix it soon. ^_^

Rain-X on your rear windshield works wonders. i use it all the time... better than wipers.

If you were at work when it happened, you might be able to claim against their insurance... Technically if you have set up your insurance as private only it may not be covered... This is only going to be an issue if you tell them too
Food for thought though!!

Not gunna lie i was thinking that
but yes it is private, and Yes im a registered P-plate driver, which means my excess would (I imagine) have been more then the repair bill, plus id rather not claim, and keep my record clean, its look that bad really
