Not so bad ::) spare crash bar in the garage, white bonnet sorted, about a pound of epoxy and a lick of paint will soon sort it.

Glad I didn't pay€1500 for the bumper... But on the flip side, need a new number plate as it's shattered due to the Irmy bumpers having no padding behind :-\

About 2 inches of a new slam panel/ radiator though.

My friendly carpet fitter gave me some rubber backed hard wearing carpet. Seeing as I use the car daily for work and the old cover was "goosed" I did this with it at the weekend.



I'm lovin it  :-* :-*

Then today I find I have a coolant leak which is coming from what looks like an HBV type thingy behind the inlet manifold  >:( >:( ::)

'Oh cock' was about the first thing I said....  Didn't think I'd smacked it that hard tbh, but enough to split and scuff the top edge

Well I spent a relaxing evening in front of the telly drinking tea and making a new loom for my Camper. Oh the joys of owning old bags of poo. The insulation on the old wiring had more in common with Bakelite  ::)
