Great news mate, hope it wasn't too expensive to fix!

Got any more pics of the car since it had the bodywork done?

Chris
It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Cost me £360 including the MOT fee and reapirs.

The car still needs to go back to bodyshop yet for its final polish but there are a few pics from when I picked it up.















Also ordered this for the steering wheel



Cherry Red hazard switch and rear cup holder should arrive tomorrow then I can fit the Nav unit.

After having the bodywork done I wasnt happy with the finish on the bumpers compared to the rest of the car so dropped it back off at the body shop for both bumpers to be done again and a full polish.
