less than a week ago. it looked half decent. kinda been looking after it a bit more lately trying to keep it clean.
then some torrential rain in cumbria happened. couldnt go the town centre way as clutch was fooked. had to use the back roads. which included a police marshalled flooded road. great. corsa bodykits love water.
arrive at destination, well, not everything arrived at the destination............
.......missing both side skirts
fucker.

i wish i had really but no. heard nothing. was more concerned at the pipe from the front bumper to the air filter sucking water up as one of the flooded bits was fair deep.
will go investigate in the morning. ive found an L piece once that came off so maybe..............but probably wont find them.

I lost the L pieces on mine in heavy rain. Luckily this was when you could still buy them new from vauxhall.

road side haul. cant find the other side though. 50% winning haul is better than 0%. think its been run over though. atleast i got 2 of the jacking point covers as they are harder to get than the skirts are 2nd hand.

yeah i would hate to drive the rado through the floods etc its great being able to plough on through without caring about anything.
