Car is back from the body shop, had two little dents repaired and painted that have made me cringe for a while (too long!)

Thanks to Alex for sorting it for me  :happy2:  :drinking:

Also had another AKS fast road alignment after having a fully polybushed chassis and serviced osf coilover.  :driver:



Haven't seen it in the flesh yet  :party

Taking it somewhere else to have the carbon bonnet painted emoçion red as this guy has been a bit of an arse about doing it.

Agreed  :happy2:  faults like the dents always draw your eye to them when you have them and can really start to put you off your pride n joy.

I'll take it round the block for you Mike if its still there when I am  :signLOL:

Front one was ATS  :fighting:

Rear one was a catastrophe when an emergency / roadside jack failed just before I had chance to put the axle stand under the car  :sad: :sad:
