You look at the car and you think, this car has done almost 18 years (end of Aug) without a mark on the front, and it just took a few seconds for some tool who can't drive to do that to it.
I think it will pop out, Eoin/EoinF, but the break in the paint is a problem.
I won't bother going any further about it, as I'll probably get nowhere. I can imagine someone telling me that the car is old anyway.
I remember it happened to my mother's car a few years ago. This one in a Tucson scuffed her bumper off the side of it and when my brother confronted her (he was still sitting in the car at the time), she said 'sure that car has other dents and scratches on it anyway', and then just drove off. She was correct, to be fair, but her attitude was terrible. People don't care nowadays.
