anyone know of any good body shops in surrey???
i kind of had a little accident in the pug over xmas. really pissed me off as i was driving really sensibly for a change, but i'll be using this for a few more neat touches whilst it'll be in there.
and some new suspension.
if any one could help i'd be grateful.

Why does this not suprise me in the slightest, all you ever do is post up about racing and driving fast, your idea of sensible is probably my idea of driving like a twat.

i obviously applied opposite lock once the back end lost traction.
no one know any good body shops then.

Why would full opposite lock bring your car back into control of the steering wheels are already out of traction?

cheers mate, i did expect it tbh, i do sometimes drive like a prick, and i don't lie about it, some people on her think they upgrade there cars performance just to drive it sensibly!!!
If i had of been driving like a knob i wouldn't try to defend myself. was really annoyed that not one bodyshop was even interested in seeing the car!!! was on the 29/12 so gonna go to a few tomorrow but i wondered if anyone has had any experience of any near me and would reccomend them.

Sorry, but I can drive a car with upgraded performance, I can drive it perfectly well..
20 mph, you lost control.. going over a mini roundabout? .......
first of all, cars are normally using those things for navigating to other roads, so 20mph is abit much, as you seem to have noticed, secondly, pedestrians normally use the reservations to cross at near mini roundabouts, to save themself from diving through a 3 way route of cars going OVER a roundabout at 20mph.

i have, i'm using the time of when it's in the body shop to improve more things. sound system is now un affordable as i think it will be a few ££££ for the repair.
