BrAiNsTeW Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 got to a T-junction this evenin' where i wanted to turn left, only another car was waiting to turn right infront of me. so we are both stopped at this point waiting to go,i saw the road was clear both ways and stupidly thought he had gone, when he hadnt. the result? his rear passenger-side suddenly found itself in my drivers wing! hopefully its just a replacement front wing for me though as the bonnet still opens/shuts/latches as it should and i managed to drive it home after a pulling it away from the wheel a tad... will have to get it looked at tomorrow properly tho he had a broken rear cluster and some of my paint bleh! bloody cars!

Mr_Tom Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Similar to mine Its similar to mine mate only ures is a tad worse, Ive been quoted £180 to get mine fixed and I supply the wing but i can get them for £13 so its nothing really let me know if you want one could get you one. The headlight is only £25 as well if you want one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) gettin a normal arch then? u could get cossie ones and do them now? just an idea if ya aint strapped for cash?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cossie arches aren't replacements, they're shite little pieces of fibreglass which extend up to the main swage line. They need to be bonded to a good condition standard arch. Unlucky about crash 'stew. Looks like it'll be a simple enough repair though Edited October 21, 2004 by Ex-Finesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
