The good, the bad and the ugly

Post by h4r1s »

firstly the good...

got my spacers through the post to give the back wheels some girth :D

Image

Image

the bad...

some idiot decided to scrape my rear bumper in a car park, and this it what it looks like after going through some scratch X and polish

Image

and finally the ugly....

completely my fault, wasn't paying attention and rolled into the back of someone. luckily the guy was sound and left it that, didn't take any details or nothing :)

So overall a good week i reckon :roll: ruined my car which was mint for 3months if that

Ouch... Are those going to get redone then? Looked like minimal damage, so shouldn't be that expensive to repair.

spacers were, £55 delivered from someone on clubpolo, practically new. They are hubcentric ones so you bolt them to the hub and then wheel to the spacer. And they are 25mm :wink:

temporary fix...

and a rolling shot of my car :D

Absolutely s**t feeling, knowing you just ruined your car :( must have been worse for you since you were at a show, with everyone looking at your car :?

Wow.

I love the car Haris, I can't wait to see it at some shows this year. The castelletes look the nads, but I can't help notice those Minilite style wheels, are they off a lupo? And I *think* they're 7x15, so they have a nice bit of poke as well. I actually prefer them to the Castelletes though :oops:
