How close was the object to the edge of the kerb, and was there a concrete buffer in place to stop you hitting the object?
If you persue it further they may admit fault. Take some pics of where the incident happened and post them up. |

Bad luck mate. Hope you can get it corrected soon. I had a similar incident a few months ago - reversed into some large decorative rocks on someone's front lawn on a rainy night. Was trying to do a three-point-turn. If it wasn't for my tow bar, it would have been a lot worse.

Your cheapest option might be to call a few wreckers and find an AU bootlid in sparkling burgundy and just replace it. Painting is expensive.

penal betting would imply some sort of intra-prison gambling racket.
new bootlid time!
