I’ve had a mare driving home from biking at my local riding spot this evening, lorry in front flicked up a ratchet strap and the ratchet part typically has smashed into the front of the car. Splitter trashed, lower front bumper paint all ruined and somehow it’s even managed to split the honeycomb lower grill  

 

Does anyone know the part number for the lower vrs grill and the best place to get a new one? TPS maybe or fleabay? Don’t really want to spend mega bucks at dealer for new part if it can be avoided. 
 

Also if anyone’s got a Reiger splitter for sale or knows of one please let me know 🤞

Cheers mate! Much appreciated 👍

If you got the registration plate of the lorry then I would make a claim through your insurance.

Sorry to hear.

 

Dash cam is standard operating procedure nowadays I'm afraid. 

 

Could have been worse...it could have come through your windscreen.

 

Is bumper all one piece on Octavia 3?

Cheers, yeh it’s certainly got me thinking about a dash cam and yes definitely could have been worse. 
 

Yeah one full piece I think apart from grills and fog surrounds.
