**** matt, feel for you. That's not good.

Since I've fitted mine I've been ultra-careful with parking, etc. I'd be suicidal if I'd kerbed mine so soon!!! I actually don't park mine anywhere where I could kerb them anymore.....

I did **** them a bit putting them on with my oem wheelbrace so I know the feeling.

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Guys,

I've been tempted by this lovely car from a dealer in south devon for £9995.

I've only had the RB5 for only over a month but this is to good to be missed.

Its a STI Type R V6 with 55k Miles.



Off course some of the stickers will have to come of but I rather not keep chucking money at the RB5 only to make it up to this spec when I can buy this.

What do you reckon.

I'm waiting on the dealer getting back to me on the history of the car now.

We've agreed on a price of £9k for mine as it is at the mo, so sorry there won't be any breaking.

I'm trying to find out if its had a clutch change, cambelt service and if its had a full service history. Depending on 2 out of 3 then this could be a go.

I've just had a quote for the wheel repair on my scuffs and it'll cost £40 per wheel.

This will put the wheel back to the normal shape with a very close match on colour.

I think this is a good price for the crap I done to the wheels, has anybody had better prices for a wheel repair.

Going from a STI RA to a UKTurbo is a big difference.

I've always liked the Type R and when a chance like this comes across my path its just to good to miss.
