Bumped at kerb!
 
As above managed to hit a kerb in the ice! Hit the nearside front but square on slowly. Was a bit of a jolt but must have hit it at only a couple of miles an hour. Am I likely to have done any damage? Cant see anything obvious but its dark and havent jacked car up. Would it be a good idea to get the geo done after this?
And does anybody know somewhere p'boro area to get it done?

Last but not least happy christmas!

i,d defo get ur tracking checked out, new tyres arn't cheap

Was worried because just put a new tyre on that corner! Luckily very very almost cant notice it scuff to the wall. I'll get tracking checked soon as! I would curse the ice but been enjoying it!(when no one is about of course) As it should be with these cars!

Front wheel get wheel balance checked and tracking checked.

Chances are the worst you've done is put the tracking out :) Get the alignment checked and adjusted after Christmas and get them to put that wheel on the balancing machine to check it's still true :)

The whole reason I got the car was to enjoy so I'm not going to beat myself up about it! Get out there and drive it how it should be driven! Def good fun in the snow.

I did this a year ago. Needle was hardly moving though and I don't think there was even tracking or balancing issues. Everything was fine, however the same front left corner is now squeaking going over speed bumps. Is this just sheer coincidence?
