Minor accident

[Manarius]

Last friday, I was going around a corner at an intersection and hit a slick patch of snow/ice. I slid my right front corner into a guard rail @ ~5 mph. It put a small scuff on the bumper, bent it down about 1/4 of an inch and cracked my parking light (which I already got Frank to send me a new one). Should I be worried about anything else other than the fact that it's another mark on my beloved?

(I was pissed when I hit the thing...I really f%#$ing hate ice now)

I wouldn't be too concerned unless your suspension took a hit from the wheel making an impact on anything. Doesn't sound like you hit anything other than the guardrail, though.

You probably should re-aim at least that side's headlight.

often clever work with a floor jack, and blocks of wood can re-position the bumper. basically you use the car's weight to bend the supports back up

not sure if there is enough access but I've done that on several cars

Surprisingly, it did not mess up my headlight (that is the first thing I checked), just the parking light.

The bend in the bumper also put a small bend in my fender. If I try to bend the bumper back, will that fender be more likely to want to go back into a semi-normal form?
