Scort98GTi Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Just a bought a nice panther black GTi a week ago, and comin home from work, turned into our road and BLACK ICE! Slid str8 into a parked BMW! Fortunately not too much damage, i need a new bumper (needed headlight too but sorted that today) and gotta pull out slam panel a bit, got pushed in about 25mm so headlight now don't sit right. Other issue is I gotta fix the guys bimma. Only an old M reg 318 which would be written off thru insurance which he wasn't too keen on, so I said I'd get the bits and fit them for him F.O.C. Not tooo bad really, only needs headlight, grille panel and possibly bumper (not cracked at all just mover so maybe ok). So if anyone's breakin a red 318 let us know. Was a rubbish end to a rubbish day! Anyway just though I'd let all you guys have alaugh at my expense. Even someone who's been driving for 15 years can be a victim of the weather! Andy BTW.
