Anyways back onto the car, if the weather holds out tomorrow going to put the skirts on the car, can anyone recommend best way to put them on without drilling into the wheel arch plastic? Tigerseal?? Reckon there going to be destroyed in a few months from stone chips as they are matt black!

Getting the tyres for my white alloys tomorrow! Part worn an £16 each or £21 fitted onto the alloy

Basically touchey, whatever you do your bound to get stone chips over time, lacquered or unlacquered, so if your bothered about keeping them mint they will most likely have to be repainted again sometime in the future!! However lacquering does protect them a little more, the shinyness wont match your arches ancd stuff which is what you want isnt it? Best advice is just wax then up as much as you can

I'm in actual pieces, was driving home from work and these chavs in a golf purposely hit a fox that was crossing the road, they went over to the other side and hit it. I stopped got out and it was crying and still alive, put it in the car and drove home just coming into seaford it stopped crying and died it broke my heart and brought me to tears. People are sick, they deserve to be run over and left to die! :'( Rip little fox

Only managed to get the begging part of it as they drove off, rang the police and they said it wasn't a police matter. Going to ring back tomorrow and try again..

Pointless of actually trying to do anything with my car as it seems something always wants to break, my steering was pulling a little bit to the right always has done but noticed the other day driving to work that that's a bit where I steer and it does nothing! so taken it off the road to get it sorted also brakes aren't right either pissed off.
