I was helping a friend move house yesterday and I was the only or with a tow bar and as I have twin axle flat bed .

we loaded the trailer up and all was strapped down but as I set off the trailer dehitched , the hitch went up in the air and came crashing down ontop of the bumper so now I have perfect imprint of the hitch on the bumper and a sh*t load of stress cracks in the paint .

thankfully it only hit the bumper so it could have been a lot worse

will post pics up later

That doesn't look as bad as I'd expected: However it's certainly a respray to put right.
