I was involved in a minor front end shunt in my M3W on the way back from TOTH on 11th July, 3 guys in an old car, no brake lights and stopping very quickly for no reason (and a whiplash claim from them I suspect). I almost stopped but hit the back of the other car at walking pace but this resulted in a chassis change. There was a bend in it at the RH lower front suspension mount and further down the transmission tunnel. Initially I thought there was no damage but the steering wheel was about 30 degrees off and there was a rubbing noise from the transmission tunnel area, so it was a recovery truck home. There was no obvious damage or even cosmetic damage to either car, it was only when I had a closer look at home that I found some of the damage.

I was surprised at the extent of the chassis damage for such a minor impact. Credit to both the insurance company and Morgan at Malvern as both worked very quickly and I now have my car back complete with new chassis, just over a month after the accident. Not the best way to upgrade to the latest specification chassis chassis but every cloud has a silver lining, as they say.

Hopefully your impact will not have resulted in anything like this Midgie Man but check the chassis over very closely after anything, even a big pothole I would say. Check for clearances along the transmission tunnel and check the front chassis tubes with a straight edge.
