BUT......... Only a gold one!! :lol1: :lol1: As the wheels only come in gold, they will only replace it in gold!! He said to me I can pay them to do it black for me but I said no as they can only paint it not powder coat it!! I am happy still as I am getting the new wheel :luxhello: also i'm sure she could be persuaded ;) to pay for it seeing as she done a runner from the scene of an accident. |

This doesn't mean squat. they are black on the car and it didn't need replacing until she stacked it. speak to milamber!

After a 10 minute phone call to the insurance company they have said I can get the powder coating done where it was done before and the will reimburse me :luxhello: :luxhello:

You have to keep it above 2000 rpm to keep the turbo spooling in order to get anywhere and it tops out at just over 5000 rpm but it is nice and comfortable to drive just as slow as hell. :lol1: :lol1: |
nice courtesy car, that women didnt notice after hitting ur car.... wat a joke

Wheel update!!
I had an answer phone message about 3 PM on Thursday from the repairer just as a courtesy call to inform me the car has been stripped down and they have the new wing so its ready to be put back together and sprayed they are just waiting for the wheel to arrive that they HAVE ORDERED from Subaru.
Then about half hour later I had a phone call saying they can not find the wheel on the Subaru computer/catalogue and they don’t know what car it is originally from :brickwall :brickwall After me telling them it was an STI wheel from a new age Impreza he said he said thanks for the help and he will find it!! :cuckoo: I popped in there this morning to see if he had found and ordered the wheel and apparently the trouble they were having is that there are loads of very slightly different wheels that Subaru make that all look the same on their computer but are all actually different in the flesh!! They now DO have the correct wheel apparently and it cost £368 + VAT. :eek2: |
There database is very specific, all the caliper bolts are listed as 'bolts' on their system, regardless of application. I dare say all the wheels are listed as 'wheels'.:lol1: Fella down the road wanted a new STI wheel after he buckled one and I remember the cost was near 500:nono: Shame they aren't paying you to go buy it based on that ebay spare that was going for £15 :norty:
