Hi all
Well sadly the worst has happened. Was driving along to see the other half and the back stepped out at 30mph. Car still runs so thats the main thing. On visual looks at this time of night, theres nothing major apart from front end damage. Radiator requires to be pushed back, new front bumper, new bonnet, new slam panel, front frame requires to be put back into place. Car been stood an hour now and no fluids have been lost
Quite upsetting as its only a month old but thats life. Really surprised that she still started and drove off. Lil bit of scratching where the under tray is rubbing underneath
Anyone got any parts then can help me out with.....

Sorry to hear this bud, similar happened to me in the ice luckily I managed to fight it a bit and came off with a few inches of paint missing from the rear wheel. Where did it happen? Your from romford aren't you?
I think there's a jap breaker over the back of Hainaut somewhere although I only know through a google search (cant remember the name) might be worth having a look at least.

Looks great I really like this, its a different look to the many other bugs out there. Shame it had to miss the rolling road day Allen, sounds like a beast if its close to the magic 400.
That classic needs a kick up the **** to make 200 mate!
