Well, I just had a short run with a mate on Saturday on the coastal road from Athens to Sounion.

All went well and we stopped for a quick cofee at Sounion...

Then on the way home and when we where in Athens (Sounion is 80 miles from Ath) we stoped at a red light. As the green light came on I moved forward but the Subaru Forrester in front just froze!
Result:

Looks like I'll be neading a new RH pod as it is too far gone I think.

A new head light, bumper repaint and various repairs around the hole where the pod sits:

Oh well... Im trying to find a good fiberglass repair guy in Athens.
One thing that has given me trouble is one of the bolts that hold the bumper. Is there a special tool to remove this? The nut on the inside just turns with the bolt and i cant seem to be able to hold the bolt in place in order fot it to unscrew...
