YAY! Just in time for the next Manc Meet!

Well Deadly, at least it's been done and you won't have to worry about it for a while

That car is awesome. It's something really special and apart from the few dings on the bonnet, is mint

That's some sexy machine right there!

Not usually a fan of aftermarket alloys on the 205 but those looks rather tasty

Deadley123 · 25 Jan 2006 at 18:11

Sorry about the size of the pics

Deadley123 · 26 Jan 2006 at 19:14

Damage cash wish so far around 600 to 700 that included picking up from my house ,Bradford to Leicester which only cost my 80 pound compared to the 85 i ended up paying for a 5 mile trip to get my GFs car off the moors

but thats another story :mad:

Deadley123 · 27 Jan 2006 at 09:18

Im now even more upset just got up this morning to find GFs drivers door has been messed with ,now theres a 2 cm gap round the top of the door :mad:

Firestar_3x · 27 Jan 2006 at 09:22

Deadley123 · 27 Jan 2006 at 09:26

Firestar_3x · 27 Jan 2006 at 09:47

Shocking, Odds are you can bend most of that back yourself.

Now its a case of who done it!
