Absolutely loving the jam sandwich stripes!

Proper retro, eh!

Very good fun

yeah totally, they actually make me want to eat a jam sandwich!

I bet you could use them on the road, after all it's not as if you would be trying to impersonate the police, it's only a coloured strip, not the word 'police'. I would get some for mine but as they're nocturno blue and gold, I don't think it would look as good as if it was white like yours!

Much prefer jam sandwich to battenberg!

Seems you have had a lot of fun in the car !! and would that be some covert lights behind the grill in the last pic?

Ha-ha, well spotted, yes for that trackday ONLY it had a dash strobe, blue strobes behind the grille and on the rear parcel shelf, which were disconnected/removed afterwards, plus h'lamp flash and rear fog flash...

We had a few 'offs' on that day which we had to sort out;





Expensive, eh!

[FYS]

The car was collected by the body shop today, so I'll hear soon what the damage is, exactly....

Dont let it get written off - do a deal with the insurance co to take a cheque for the amount they will insure it up to and then go and get 2nd hand parts fitted at an indep.

I did this when my old Saab 9000 got hit by an oik in a fiesta. Took the wingmirror off and the wheel arch trim. With the paint a decent bodyshop wanted nudging 2k and the insurance would only value it at 1k, so I took a cheque and fixed it for £40 for the mirror and just pulled the arch out by hand!!

Yep, I had that in mind. Have already contacted a local guy who deals only in Omega spares, with a list of what I need.

I can sort the panel replacement and there is a guy on the farm where I share a workshop with some mates who does some spraying, so should be a cheap repair.

But, you gotta go through the motions, especially as I am claiming off the Taxi drivers insurance!

Cheers,

Martin.

Absolutely! Stillm you don't (necessasrily) have to stump up for a rare MV6 bumper, std ones are easily come by ... or is it time to slap on an Irmy big bumper???


Got to say, it does (did!) look really quite fab in white, especially with the proper MV6 wheels now. Did the plod cars run std height suspension? Looks high for an MV6 in the photo's.

Good luck.

Thanks.

It does have a std bumper, the Police spec cars were 'Special' not MV6. But, I'll get an MV6 bumper if I can.....

Yep, they always look high in the suspension, as, again, they are not MV6's, and had specific Police spec suspension, with specific stuts and springs - different part numbers to 'road' cars.

I understand that it is heavy duty kit and I think the rear springs are heavier poundage and longer to compensate for the Police kit tahe was carried in the boot - if I am wrong I am sure Hotel21 will be along shortly to correct me....

FYS.

Indeed!

[FYS]

Well, it's a wrie off. Not surprised really....

More info to follow.....

Anyone got an MV6 front bumper?

Cheers,

FYS.

[FYS]

Well FYS is back at the workshop I share with my buddy's. I slung the car out the back in the yard - looks like its on death row....



The damage without the headlamp fitted;









The inner wing needs a tweek, but it should all repair without a problem.

I have settled with the Insurance - a favourable deal, and worth the agro of repairing it myself.

More to follow....  parts needed if anyone has suitable wing, bonnet or bumper (preferably MV6)?

Cheers,

FYS.
