mcrdave Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Thankyou Mr TigzOk guys here you go, border="0" class="linked-image" />Also, I'm trying not to stress but I stupidly managed to kerbn one of the wheels this morning... I can't believe it, but it was completely my fault. I think it's partly coming out of the smart into the lupo, it just feels so darn big!... Can anyone recommend a reasonably cheap kit or touch up stick that would help disguise it, it's not that bad, just needs a bit of paint on there.Hope you get the piccheersDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyggy Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 She's a beaut! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> As for the kerbing, umm.. try halfords? They must have something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrdave Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Thaks fellas,I'm heading straight down to Halfords after work! I hope I can find something for the wheel.More pics when I can clean her, probably after the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Congrats on picking it up, hope you enjoy it!I kerbed my alloy outside bossjohnc's work two weeks ago, proper little chunk taken out. In my defence I hadn't driven the car in 9 months and I wasn't really concentrating!Haven't looked into getting it repaired, will probably not bother and get a fresh set of bathursts in a couple of years, but count on Halfords giving you a spanking, they are currently charging a fortune for scratch removal.

mcrdave Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Cheers Andy,Yeah I have noticed this with Halfords too, I remember when you could get a touch up paint thingy for £2.99 or something like that, I imagine it's going to be silly prices but I'll have a look anyways.Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrdave Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hehe, can't wipe the smile off my face, I'm loving this car. Was out till late last night playing. Took the girlfriend for a drive in it, decided to stop for a curry in Rusholme, got a great spot to park, right opposite the restaurant and couldn't resist taking a few more pics (see below)!!!Oh yeah, went to Halfords, I can get a silver touch up pen thing from there for £3.99, I'll get it at the weekend, it won't be perfect again but at least it will look a bit better.Re. first mods... hmmm, I really don't know how to improve it!!!? I could do with a denison ipod link thing I suppose, as the tape deck adaptors are supposed to be pants aren't they?Also, yeah I would definitely come to a meet somewhere around Mcr. border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
