Haha that's quality! I also ended up being a bloody snow plough on my road aswell. Mate, by any chance could you let me know where you got your bumper done from mate? I'm trying to find a decent place round here in London but having no luck!

I bought the bumper off my mate but I think he did the smoothing himself and handed it over to A1 crash repairs in Wembley.

He doesn't think they're all that though. Apparently they take quite a long time doing the job to substandard level.

I got the bumper resprayed at BODYTECH which is in Ruislip now.

It's a respray that I'm actually after, got a few bits like the wings and the bonnet that don't really match, so need a respray on that. Price wise, BODYTECH quite reasonable?

Yeah they are. If you go with me I can get you to sort out a discount. I'm mates with Tony who runs the place. I got my front bumper repsrayed for £60 and that included getting some of the damage sorted aswell!

BODYTECH have merged with Premium Services which are some Mercedes Benz specialists so the prices might have gone up a little. However, I reckon I can convince Tony to give you a fair price nonetheless. Price wise, I doubt you'll find anywhere else that can compete especially considering the quality of his work.

That's awesome mate, well I'm going to book the polo in for a bit of custom welding near the 20th of this month, so once that's sorted I'll give you a shout and I'll make a journey down their with you to get a quote. 8) Then see how the bank balance looks! You live next to the road that my aunt lives on so it shouldn't be too hard to find you mate. :P

Yeah its lowered on Jmax coilovers. I personally would recommend coilies over springs any day due to the fact they're adjustable and can give your car a good slam.

You can get some cheap coilovers from ebay or get philJ coilovers from clubpolo.co.uk

lol I ain't driven mine since sunday night when it started chucking it down!

Must've been fun lol and I can't believe there was an Ocado/Waitrose van driving by in the vid too! Sainsbury's cancelled yesterday which meant I had no work :) Would've been fun to drive the Sainsbur's vans drifting behind the store lol.

Looks like West London was just as bad as the East bro!

Hehe yeah it was quite bad here man. Still a bit of snow around. Was drifting all over the place today but some decent counter steering and throttle application sorted me out.

Lol you shoulda seen some fo the grannies staring at me in shock. Here's me casually driving sideways whilst everyone's driving like a snail. Can't wait to go Jap!
