Yes, thanks for reminding me

Not sure about them being black. I'm thinking about maybe taking them back to silver.

I think anything at the front of Chris`s car is of little concern to him at the mo.
Now the rear is different story.

Scott I realise the headlights not on your car but these people are good

I bought a whole rear caliper off them for £25 used but good.

Thanks for the advice Scott. Mine are Xenons is that what you are replacing?

As Simon has mentioned. The front of the car is the least of my concerns at the moment. Despite the fact that it is a MASSIVE car someone managed to save the wear and tear on their brakes today by using me to stop at a mini roundabout.

Bear in mind the fact that my car is an automatic, weighs nearly 2 tons and my feet would have been on the brakes he managed to knock me forward about 2 feet. Hell of a bang when he hit.

The rear bumper is dead and all the sensors. Have no idea about any other damage but that's his concern not mine.

Just metal at the end of the day.

Gutting for you fella hope your ok, what was he in a tank???
is your mate sorting it at nationwide

yeah these are the xenon ones, we think he went to BMW to get it sorted as it did'nt work and then had to sit down when he got the price, so decided to put a whole in it and have a claim up (pure speculation)
