Bunch of pansies. Its a tin box for getting about in. Give it a polish if your worried and carry on driving it

exactly!!!! LOL...reshell for a hole the size of a fingernail. Tony drilled bigger than that in the racecar by accident!!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Ha, indeed.

 

[Richyy182]

all i can do is wait and see what the outcome is with the bodyshop tomorrow.

as said, the biggest problem is going to be that hole. the rest is simple- ish lol.

i really don't want to break it for parts or buy another.... i love this one too much to part with it!

I know how you feel - tomorrow i'm handing over £2600 for work on my 182- am i mad ? yes. Do I love my 182 though ? bigger yes

 

[Tony Hunter]

Silver duct tape over hole.

Just cone cut it bigger and stick a Grommet in it.

If it's for track only I'd leave it/try your best to sort it! If you manage it again you'd be gutted.

 

[Craigie]

Oh man I bet you are gutted. South west Renault were breaking one last week I think in the same colour .. Give a ring. It looks ok but after market wheels. We're you in weston earlier ?

 

[Laura]

I drill holes in the drift cars bigger than that just to hold stuff on!

Basicly it's f**k all, easy sorted without massive bills or hard work

 

[Chip-mk1]

Isn't it a track car?

Get it wrapped or just leave it be, how pissed would you be if you fixed it and then drop it into the barriers again?

On track a bit of damage just looks battle hardened, Lol.
Not so good if it's a car that needs to be presentable on the road though.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Looks cool, leave it.

That's actually the same thing I thought

I'd just cover it in vinyl graphics and carry on!

 

[ROB91]

Ouch.

It's a bit late in the day but for me:

Buy new wing off and door in the right colour (including mirror) off here, normally about 900 available so shouldn't be hard to find.

Fit these, sand the front bumper back yourself and get it smooth.

Take it to a bodyshop and get them to blow the front bumper in and ask what's the best they can do with the rear quarter for minimal cost.

 

[LewDew]

She's going into the body shop tomorrow..... Shoul have her back by Saturday.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Cool stuff, hope it goes well

 

[LewDew]

Call from the body shop today...... She won't be ready tomorrow.

As it transpires the new wing they ordered wasn't the right one!

I am in need of a drivers side front wing before she's complete.... Untill then I have to endure the cinquecento of love/doom! :-(

 

[D2HTY]

Puahahahahahaha! Cinquencento W**KER!
