cheers, got some vaux mudflaps for the rear just need some new clips, but i want some depo's, i might DIY some or i might even get some black crystal headlights. i also want some new shortened shocks for the rear because of the hard ride and it might drop it a little lower.

havent updated in a little while, ive been having some problems;
first of all my car was running like a bag of shit, with loads of flat spots when accelerating, and also over fueling, so i brought a new air flow meter and put on the standard air box which sorted that.
i then came out of work the other day to find some bastid had keyed my rear quarter pannel  so ive got to fix that some how now...
ill get some pics up later of the keyed pannel and my air box (i attacked it with a drill)

yea i know i was gutted, but i dont think its too deep, so should be able to clear it up with one of those touch up pen kits from halfords. anyone had any experience with them before? if that dont work, i might be taking a trip to the body shop, and i guess whilst im there i might aswell get a few extras done

there is anythin mate, blue t-cut would be your limits, if it wasnt deep, a professional detail maybe able to do something with it, but it looks to deep

just when i thought things couldn't get any worse. 
i was on a 60mph stretch of road, which has a slight hill, as i approached the top of the hill i saw a cyclist, so i slowed down a little and started to pull out to go around him. then a small transit appeared from nowhere! so i slammed on the brakes....they locked and i slid sideways. i missed the guy on the push bike, but the front of my car hit the side of the transit. both vehicles are a comlete write off...
this was on the 03/07/08 so things have moved on a little since then.... a have a new corsa b  so ill start a new thread for that soon!
