Oh it's gone now :p

It was broken and now fixed.

I'll be more specific. How did it get damaged?

Ah I see. It looked like it was missing the sill.

It was missing the sill trim that runs along the side, it ripped off and bent in half. I bought a genuine one off eBay for £50 which came off a BMW Individual Metallic Purple car. Wish my car was that colour, such a nice gloss!

Wheels look like they could do with a little refurb :)

That's next on the (very small) to do list. Local wheel specialist has 4x wheels for the price of 3 at £75 a wheel so will likely pay them a visit at some point but a refurb is not really a priority at the moment :)

Whereabouts is that matey?

My Style 135s could do with sorting at some point..they look great from a distance but up close you can see that they've been resprayed without stripping the old paint off first.

Repair looks really good, enjoy no longer being embarrassed lol.

Hah, the aerodynamics are now even too ;)

I have to say I utterly love your car Mrk, such a timeless model and you've kept it pristine /tipshat.

Many thanks! 4 years on it's still treating me well :)

It's The Wheel Specialist in Fareham (Segensworth section), I usually get their mailshots every month or so about special offers.

Perfect, cheers. I don't suppose it mentions how long the offer is on for? I'm trying to put off all non-essential work until I get myself another job, but if the offer expires soon then I might consider digging into the redundancy money to fund it :)

Damn you it's too tempting! :)

I've just offloaded some leftover Golf parts on eBay, and if my old laptop sells for more than £100 on Sunday then I think I might just have to spoil the old girl to a refurbed set of wheels!
