Thanks for the advice guys

I've priced up second-hand parts on ebay and I reckon if I get a side skirt in the same colour I can probably repair the damage for under €200 and a couple of hours of my time. Need sideskirt, undertray, jackpoint and clips/screws etc.

The guys were contracting for a local farmer that regularly has a track of cattle passing there with the road covered in cowsh!t, so I suspect I'll get very little joy with him.

I'll ring the company tomorrow and see what they say, they're a small time operation and judging by the attitude I received today I've a feeling how that will go.

To put down ramps like that across the road do you need a permit? And if so, who from? And who do I report it to, council or gardai?

Cheers
