Hi all, had no luck with photobucket myself so have e-mailed my pics accross to Twiglet so he will load them on here for me.
Bought my car in Dec 06 from a dealer near Sizewell in Suffolk. 49260 recorded miles and I was as happy as Larry at the price I paid for it. 10 months later, the front came off the air-con pump and made a hell of a mess. Wiped out everything accross the front of the engine. was put in touch with TB and got a rad, air intake hoses and a couple of other bits from him and was back up and usable three days later, although with three "power bulges" in the front of the bonnet where the fan blades embedded them selves. 6 months after that, it got covered with white primer, pink primer and red gloss paint spots by some tosher of a painter. 4 1/2 year battle with the insurance company over it with some very derisery offers for the damage. They have declared it a write off due to uneconomical repair costs and paid out a sum that was less than the cars worth. Took it to a mate I,ve know since i was 16 and did a deal with him for getting it painted. Mid June it went in and i got it back on August bank holiday. Time to finally put on my extras I had amassed over the years while battling with "Redefining the standards". here it is all before and after. I,m really pleased with the look. Just a set of the ,02-03 five spoke wheels to paint and fit and it will be done. Fitting that style wheel as they look to be very easy to keep clean, important as I dont get the time I would like to keep the car as clean as I would like.
