Was driving down a single carriageway, and in a blind bend i see a car over taking a lorry, coming head on, flashing his full beams for me to slow/ move.... I slam the brakes, and swerve to the side, miss the car, but hear a god almighty crash 
As it was a country lane, i couldnt stop there so limp on, but hear a rotational noise, like something rubbing the wheel. (turned out to be the wheel well plastics)
Stop when i can, and my passenger side fang is split, bent under the brake duct, there was some plastic from underneith hanging with a wire, i nearly cut the wire as i couldnt disconnect it, lucky i didnt..... As after i disconnected it my car says -40 outside, so guess its the outdoor temp sensor... And all the wheel well plastic which attach to the bumper are split.
The under plastics are there, just the bit between the front passenger wheel an the front fang are all gone. And the bumper is noticeable wobbly/ bendy now. No wheel damage luckily. It think the lower front must have hit a rock maybe a Low curb even.
So annoyed, the driver obviously didnt stop.
No chance for pics yet... Think/ hope the bumper is salvageable with some plastic weld and a respray... It was only sprayed fitted 6 months ago.
And will need new plastics around the passenger wheel, between the wheel and bumper which incl the outdoor sensor and new bumper clips, and plastic rivets which secure the wheel guard.
Temped to just claim on my insurance to save the hassle
