Damn thats not good !

At least your fine though and the car isnt that badly damaged.


I CAN relate to what your feeling though ive had the worst of luck lately with my car.

Around late March I attended my mates wedding and when I got back to the car some prick had decided to take his frustrations out on my car and seems to have either hit it with something or kicked it as my front bar was cracked in a few places, the damage didnt look as if it was hit by a car thats for sure.

Since I had a new bodykit in the garage collecting dust (was saving up for a full respray) I decided to put the kit on first, may as well !

Then this is the real kick in the nuts, on the way to the panel beaters to get the new kit fitted I was cruising along on the M4 and my rear tyre on the drivers side decides to pop off the rim and send me sideways at approx 100km/h on a 3 lane highway. Car swerved all the way from the far right lane to the far left just missing a semi and I managed to swing it back round to avoid face planting it on the side of the hill and it came back and hit the concrete barrier.

Chassis is fine and only panel damaged is front passenger side guard oh and the bonnet was bent. Front and rear bar are fubar !

Here a some pics

Insurance wouldnt cover a full respray as roof and side of the car wasnt damaged. So I paid extra on top to get a full respray and some other goodies as well then when I was getting all excited about the new look of the car I get a call saying the new bonnet which I delivered to them has a nice hairline crack near the vents, more money again.

As a result im broke as fuck !

Prior to that the car had been keyed in nine places (hence the reason why I wanted a full respray), spat on and egged on a number of occasions.

That was late March, I still dont have my car back !!! :cry:


Sorry to hijack your thread !! :)

Hehe thanks dude....

Yeah I just hope all the new bodywork, rims etc work well together.

I didnt mind the look of the car before but it was missing something haha hopefully I can get it right this time.

Hahah the car was fixed awhile ago, but the extra mods that im doing has delayed its completion somewhat.

Car was finally returned to Sam after Peter at Bodyform finished with fittting and modifying the kit.

Manage to snap up a few pics yesterday as the car arrived while I was at the panel beaters dropping the new cooler off.
