had great feedback from people about parts and just one week on and i have already got the slam panel, radiator, grill, indicators, and the passenger side wing!

headlights are in the post as we speak

and picking up a drivers side wing, bonnet, front bumper, indicator surround and bonnet catch, on tuesday!

so hopefully within two weeks of crashing it and just £290 on parts itll be back on the road!

wont be going back to kwik fit in a rush! bloody rubbish they are! went down to get the tracking and that checked just now, after about an hour of faffing about they came back and said the tracking is fine but the rear flag is out so they adjusted that. took it for a drive down the road and realised the wheel wasnt straight when driving in a straight line, bearing in mind this is what they were supposedly adjusting, which clearly isnt right, so we went back and told them and they started saying well we dont know how your car normally drives, but clearly it doesnt take a genius to recognise that the steering wheel is sitting wonky?! so after moaning they agreed to do it again and sort it out and after another hour and about 5 of them working on it they said it was sorted. just driven it home and im sure its still not right but i wont be going back there any time soon. theyre fitters, not mechanics.

I've never had a good experience with Kwik Fit. The couple of times I have been, my cars have been condemned by them! Saying I needed my whole brake system changed etc!

Little Lupo looks good. Wish I'd had as good a 1st car.

theyre just a bunch of monkeys at the end of the day, cant believe it came out worse than when it went in though, they like to think they know what theyre doing

thanks man, yeh im really happy with it, didnt think id be able to align everything as well as it actually turned out! the wings were a bitch to get out because theyre just cross head screws in the sill and door shut and that and theyve just been undersealed to death! had to invest in an impact driver and a good 50 whacks of a hammer just to loosen them up! got there in the end though! will get better pics up soooon
