Had a bit of an incident on the way home and had a meeting with a few sheets of plasterboard on the fast lane of the M40 :scared:
Completely killed one tyre on the rear (it blow out) and have taken a lump out of the front one as well so it's got to be replaced too.
Plus both alloys on the near side have chunks out of them :sad: :sad:
But on the plus this gives me a good reason to get the alloys re-finished, so I was thinking of going for the anthracite finish like these BBS's

Any one else got any suggestions?

Ouch, sorry to hear about this Steve.
I really like the anthracite and metallic grey effect on alloys with the steel grey cars and think a refurb in that colour would look lovely. :happy2:

Sorry to hear that Steve.. I'd get them done in anthracite I say. I would go for the same colour as what Shaun's BBS' were that he had on his ST. They were :drool:
-
Where on the M40 was this? I was gonna head down that way but then didn't go.

It was North near J4 (High Wycombe).

Any damage to the suspension?
Good excuse for the alloy refinish, but still a pita!

Not sure, it's going to be checked out on Saturday, so I am having to use Mrs P's Polo Match 1.4 80PS for the next few days :sleepy:
