Saw 4 turbo's this morning and one P1 - Must say that the White turbo at around Jct 20 at 7.20 this monring had a nice zorst on it !!!
Anyway - Get this - Boy do I feel silly now.....
Saturday - Got car cleaned.... went for a spin, Saturday was a goood day.....
Sunday - Found disposable camera that needed a few shot needed before getting it done so I thought it a good idea to go to a local venue to take some "Country" Shots, So - on way down little track - hit BIG hole - Big bang in car but checked alloy and all seemed ok...
So carried on down this little track and ran out of road, so reversed up what I thought was a little drive thing, got so far up and scraped lower lip on ground, so I ease back down only to the sound of more scraping...
once stopped I take a look.....
Why did I get out of bed.....
Lower lip pulled away from bumper - bumper pulled away from wing and nice scrape on lip.... + The front tyre... Flat
2 hours later, and 2 flatbeds later, Subaru assist managed to get my p1 onto a flatbed with help of various blocks and stuff....
Off she goes to get repaired.....
Is this gonna Hurt ????

I was on M25 this morning... and M20, and M1....doh...
Bad luck!
If you are only talking a respray of lip and refit of bumper, lip spoiler and a new tyre I wouldn't expect change from £400 but not too bad... perhaps a layin would have been better mind.
Thats my guess....

Well....
New tyre, alignment to ensure all is ok...
New fixings for lower lip and bumper...
touch in scrape on lowerlip...
2 hours labour
no change from £400 providing that wishbones (Which are all alloy) are ok.....
