well i thought id do a bit of an update on my car so here goes,
as you know my car got crashed into and looked like this , . the lad that did it was a good lad and offerad to pay for all the damadge that was done. it needed a bumper bar new bonnet depos grill number plate slam pannel ect. i got it to my house and with my new bumper bar in tow my and a friend pulled the slam pannel staight and fitted the bumper bar. didnt find much rust to say it had done 148k now 
 also sprayed the front of the car to make it look a bit cleaner
the next day i got it to a bodyshop where it was to be sorted out. i drove it the 4 miles to the body shop with no bumper and headlights.just following my mum naughty naughty.
i started to order the new grill and other bits which slowly but surely arrived
 .
after a couple of days i went to see how it was going
no more dent
the day i picked it up from the bodyshop was awsome.thanks to saun of here for giving me a lift.
 the bonnet needs to get resprayed as it reacted with some polish ????
go it back to work where saun fitted my blue bulbs and i finshed my plate and fitting my grill HAPPY DAYS
all done 
BUT THEN i was out driving with a friend and drove past a club and some fucking pricked descided to kick the back rear quarter .
 i got the lad arrested ,im pressing charges but he has been bailed untill the 4th of feb.iv got to get quotes for the repiar but i doubt i will get out from him the prick.
 i mandged to push some of it out for the time being but lee and a couple of people have said they will have to cut the pannel out to do it propaly.
my dad having a go at pannel beating lol
 so all in all a shit mounth as i only got 2 picture of it done. i had only cleaned the car the day the lad kicked it but hay ho never mind . ill keep you updated.

unlucky mate. things like this happen.
i had a big scratch on my front bumper from driving into my garage and hitting a metal cabinet, then my headlight misted up on the inside so had to take it apart and mess about with it, then i hit my mirror off another car and completely smashed it heated electric mirrors don't come cheap 
your car was looking so nice aswell, you just need one depo
