It hit perfectly on my exhaust tip, which ripped out the side of my rear bar, flicking the front drivers side corner in aswell. No damage along the side what-so-ever, just rear right section of rear bar, rear section of exhaust and just clipped the front quarter & headlight and front bar damaging them aswell. 4 other cars went in on the same spot within a matter of 30mins after me, 1 being a 4x4 judging by the tyre marks left in the sand bank. Whatever was on the road was damn slippery, it was like driving along and hitting ice.
