Well tonight was fun!

Thats the splitter...which is now cracked underneath, and mushed across the whole thing. Seems high kerbs and lowered cars are a very very bad combination.

In other news short shifter arrived, but also my front left ABS sensor has gone pop...ordered a new one on ebay for a fiver! Bargain or what.

So now I need to start again with the splitter, which Im not best pleased about, but you cant win every time!

Meh :( Silly cars.

Ouch about the splitter. Thats the reason I'm not having my colour coded - wouldn't trust myself.

Good thats your getting it resprayed so quickly.

Fitting the shifter yourself?

Even if it wasnt, Id have mushed it to the point of replacement - that kerb was vicious!!

Indeed it is. Dads mate is a trim repair guy so can do it when i want really :)

As for the shifter, indeed....thats the only way i go on parts like this! Self sufficient is the way to go.

Just be thankful your splitter isn't smoothed into the bumper like mine was Alex! Now that was expensive :lol:

You know what I think alex, good choice and good to hear the splitter is being fixed. No doubt you'll be selling me those CC alloys when you've had enough of them :lol:
