AAAAND another problem added to the list

Again, country roads, was out tonight and some arse in a vectra cut the corner and swiped my wing mirror with him! Fair enough i was probably doing 90 but he seemed alot more than that. Especially to take the wingmirror with him!

No marks to the car at all which im greatful of. Off to ebay and to check breakers to see what they have for temporary then going to get myself some electric/heated/folding ones
So when i see someone cutting a corner i can quickly fold them in in future aha

Cars going downhill people!

Yeah seen a few on ebay for a quick fix for now until i get the electric/folding etc ones ordered up

Just a bit gutted so much has happened all in the same weekish
Also forgot that when i was changing the wheel over the shitty jack which Seat give you has left two lovely small dents in my sideskirts. Which also need painted

Again, thankfully, i was going to get some sideskirts
Everything that seems to be breaking is something that i was eventually going to be upgrading lol

Nah wasnt really an idea, just a general wondering i had on how much it was going to cost him

But not worth it really when it comes down to it, if i had a 1.9 then yeah i'd look into it more but with it being a 1.2 its not worth it in the end.
Plus im looking at getting rid of it when i turn 21 in two years :)

mate insurance doesn't go down hardly at all when you get to 21 as i found out, mine won't go down enough to let me get a sensible car til i'm 24 :wtf:!
tried to get a quote for a civic type r, got laughed at lol.

as for the mirror, bad luck, but 90 on a country road is a bit hairy.

oh, and stretch kills ;) :lol:

I was safe doing that speed, otherwise i wouldnt be doing it :)
And i dont have stretch on my tyres ;)

But yeah i know it doesnt go down alot, but i feel i'll have more driving experience by then to power a 1.9 or more :)

my country lanes small, wind like a spring, are riddled with potholes, stray animals and simple farmers :lol: anything over 40 is hairy!
i also thought this, but anything over ins group 8 and Direct Line alugh in my face lol

i thought you had a lil subtle stretchness?

A little update for you all...

Got a temporary mirror bought, found one for £30 online which will do.
Pricing up some electric/folding/heated mirrors at the moment, just need to find what i need for inside. Then when their bought the full unit is getting colour coded :)

Went and bought some more stuff online and from the dealers yesterday, will update when added. Some juicy stuff ;)

Still tempted to change the interior but not too sure what to go for, i love leather but dont know if it would suit? Would love the audi leather which has been spoke about but its quite a few £££, still worth it though!

Some subtle mods happening soon too, black behind number plate, delocked and colour coded handles

Also bonnet bra will happen as soon as i can get my hands on the style i like :lol:
