Thats seriously unfortunate mate. Weather is a right *******.
Bet you'd have taken a keying down the side of your car that that guy mentioned instead of this.
Have you got any pics mate. Sounds quite nasty but would be nice to see the extent of damage appearance wise.

Yeah a key down the car would have been alot easier to fix lol
No pics ill take some of the messed up parts when they are off tho! wishbone has such a nasty kink it it!! The bbs
are fcuked to say the least! just put 2 new toyos on them aswell
Thing that makes me laugh is that they have just re-surfaced that patch of road so im thinkin its a mixture of ice/diesel (which they use on the rollers to stop tar stickin) which has spun me run!!
fingers crossed the lil thing will be back and ready for show season before you no it!!

Glad you didn't write it off.
I was trying to drive slow in the ice this morning but I had cars hanging off the bumper. I think its easy to forget about the ice when you are all warm in the car. I've slid a few times, understeer city.
