Guys i hate NEDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Some prat did a hit and run on me!!!

Cracked my bumper in the corner in 3 places, smashed myheadlight to bits and scratched the side wing and dented the bonnet!!

Gonna need a new head light, front bumper and respray the bonnet which means new black stripes too!!

Awww its soooooo not fair!!!



The weird thing about it is if you stand about ten feet from the car u cant tell anythings wrong!

shows you that the bumpers are strong, as when i noticed my car the front and been pushed about nearly 2 feet to the left sitting at an angle!!

You should try speaking to Chris at Newminiparts.co.uk. The handle crashed and battered up minis and salvage undamaged parts. I heard about them from The Oracle Martinsullivan. He will most likely have all the bits you need to repair at a fraction of dealer price.:cool: You might want to haggle with your dealer to get the parts fitted by them, unless you are happy to do it yourself! Fixings are readily available from dealers.

You better get it sorted in time for the International New MINI Meeting run cos Jenna tells me she is going with you mate!!!! :D;)

Thats a good price for 17" runflats - best I could get was £117 from Colins in Dyce , however when I was ringing round I was quoted a maximum of £195 quid each
