Shall i try put the bumper back on?? should i remove the rear valance and make it so the rear end finishes at the seam (i'll de-seam it and clean the air flow underneath)

Here's the damage

Oh for f##k sake! >

it actually goes loads quicker now due to not having a parachute shaped bit of fiber glass hanging down to catch all the air, I think i'm right in saying that since i don't have a rear subframe, i can get rid of the rear valance completeley and let the air flow through there much better!!!!!!

Talking of accidents.. my family (who are away for the weekend) came back briefly today.. in our minibus.. reversed it into the drive.. and my dad didnt put the handbrake on.. So it rolled forward.. With my sister in the front.. Who leapt out and my disabled brother still strapped in in the back.. and it rolled across the road into a car.. the owner of the car was alright about it.. (as alright as you can be when a minibus has just ploughed into ur car!!) but the owner's wife went ballistic.. The damage is suprisingly little though.. except it pushed the car up the kerb sideways.. so it might have bent the axel.. but yeh.. My dad has never claimed on his insurance.. So he's just lost the 20 odd years no claims!! Oh well.

I say de-bumper it I have been doing this to my trailer and i think that it looks really good, well you might as well, your already 1/4 or the way there by having the bumper ripped off lol.
