I am getting more and more careless. While reversing the car, I did not aware that there was a tree remain (which could not be viewed from the rear mirror) at back and thus hitting it resulted the entire bumper being pulled down and dropped off.
If this happened at night time, I could have blamed myself for not seeing in dark. However, this took place at noon time while the sun was at zenith of my head. At last, I need to manual "hang" it to the car with its original bracket still in place. When I drove the car to the Nissan service center, I was informed that they did not provide mudguard service as they only know how to change filter and replenish lubricant. Else nothing more... WTF? a service center without the capability to service the car?
Finally, I did it myself with trying to align the bumper with its right bracket and I hope it can survive for a few more days before I can locate the right service guy.
Another key lessons of the day
1) Cannot assume. Thing that does not see or cannot see, it really does not mean no hidden danger
2) A service center does not provide full car maintenance service but only filter and lubricant change
3) Always need to be resourceful and smart for work around.
What a bad day for me. I am definitely looking forward to dose off the car now!
