BLK6T Member 305 Member For: 20y 6m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 10/02/05 04:54 AM Share Posted 10/02/05 04:54 AM Yesterday my ute suffered a hit in the rear from a 4wd And of course the 4WD with its tow bar suffers no damage. With it being his fault I pay nothing to get a new tail gate, but it wont be the origional...I am not happy about it and everytime I see the rear end of the ute I just wanna cry. Everywhere I drive everyone stares at it and backs off, I assume they think Im a bad driver or something... I just cant wait till its fixed. Has this happened to any one else??? I have attached some pics, but be warned its not a nice site. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/15603-my-t-is-in-pain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the repair bill yet?One of my collegues back into mine the other day and hit the corner peice on the bumper. I could barely even notice it but her insurance company will notice the repair bill, 800 big ones due to the paint job required to blend it in again.All the best though mate, and I know what you mean about the embarrasing bit. Makes you feel like putting an "I didn't do this sign" across your tailgate.Trent.

I thought u were entilted to have it replaced as an original because that's what is on it now....I think he means it won't be the original one that came on the car. Will still be a genuine Ford BA Falcon tailgate, but not the original one that came on his car.My car has lots of parts that are non-original in this respect... mostly through warranty though.
