Well they were a long time coming, but I finallg got my ar$e in gear and took some pics of my Merc after the incident with a Vauxhall C*rsa....  ^ The worst of it... a bent wing   ^ Front end not looking to pretty at the moment!  ^ Looking like I'm about to enter a banger race!!   ^ A better view... Leather sports seats from a Toyota Supra! Surprisingly good colour match, and REALLY comfortable. No more ar$e cheeks hanging over the seat on corners! As you can see I've stripped the front end - not much damage on those bits except for the grille and licence plate. After I took everything off, it doesn't really look that bad - a bit of persuasion with a hammer and some filler and it should be straight again! Just gotta wait for better weather.... |

;D Thanks! I did come off much better thanks to the C*rsas lovely soft crumple zones!! As soon as the weather cheers up I'll be out fixing it. It seems to be turning a nice shade of red oxide in places so I gotta sort that out!! |

Ah, it's not too bad, as you say the Corsa must have been a right twisted mess! ;D ;D

Fortunately I had a pair going spare so I just stuck that one on. The light doesn't seat properly though as that wing is all skew-whiff. I should be able to really get stuck in come the spring! I have a garage but there is the sum total of £20 worth of curse word in it (plus my V8...) so I can't get the car in  . |
