If that time the metal was stronger, and it's now worse, then really I have mentioned this story before ... a bmw 3 series jabbed my friend's cateye elantra in the back but only the license plate fell off. whereas the bmw front was damaged quite bad. this actually goes to show that metal is in abundance in Korea and k-cars are damn strong compared to other makers who import their steel. ....and naturally k-cars are heavier too.

It is quite heavy.

My friend's car Citroen banged on a stationary mercs. His whole front bumper came off but the back bumper of the mercs was still intact and there's no dent at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
