Thooooom Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 how are you insuring a GTD?! cant wait to see it. im also thinking about moving on .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) its actually surprisingly cheap! Cheaper than the Lupo!hmm, have you started repairs yet? I did see some threads about it and pictures of it out and about so assumed it was all good?just keep an eye out for a new engine if worst come to worse Also, I scraped my Bumper today, which is just my luck! might be able to sort it out I have until Sunday, but im not sure weather paying to get it fixed is worth it over just leaving it and taking a bit less for the car.. hmm dilemmasits not major damage, just a scuff. still a bit gay .

Rich Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 US ebay is overpriced.Trick is just get someone in the US to send bits over, or take a holiday like I'm going to have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
