joel900 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Boxing day night i was following one of my mates on the way home from a town near my village, we were coming up to a round about and there was nothing coming. Last minute you could see a car approaching but there was enough room for a double decker bus to get through, my "MATE" didnt think so and decided to lock up infront of me on an icey road. I went straight into the back of him smashing the whole front end of my lupo up and hardly damaging his renault clio. Anyway yesterday i ordered a new o/s wing, bonnet, bumber, grille surround, bumber reinforcement and the panel that the rad is bolted to. Yesterday morning i took it apart ready for when my new parts to arrive on tuesday.How it used to beHow it looks nowAny way the main reason for me posting on here was to find out what part this was vvvv and were i could get it. I got the part number but cant seem to find it anywere?Im pretty sure one of you lot will be able to tell me, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I think its mostly T20, T25 and maybe T27 for torx bits. Just the way you described it (or more so the way I read it back) made it sound like you were blaming the person who you crashed into.

Just the way you described it (or more so the way I read it back) made it sound like you were blaming the person who you crashed into.No i no its my fault i was just expecting him to go because the approaching vehicle was so far away, its my fault for expecting him to go in the first place. Lesson learnt though means that when i can afford a gti im less likely to smash it up :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
