Woke up this morning at 6am as usual to leave for work at 6.30am..... Made my lunch and left the house as normal.... When i got to my car just about to jump into the car when i realised the front passenger side tyre was flat!!!
So opened up my boot grabbed the spare (which is illegal tread) to change it over, grabbed the jack etc etc... un-did 2 of the 4 bolts but the bolt used to un-do the bolts its half rounded. Started to struggle with the other 2 as the thing ket jus spinning and i kept going flying... 2 or 3 attempts later it slipped off again and my knee when crashing into the front panel and i have put a huge dent into the front of the car!!!
At this point int fear of the worst and that i was only going to do further damage i have rang the AA... Only to realise that my membership had expired on the 8th of October!!!!!!!!
OMFG can this day get any worse.... Now i'm also late for work!! Gutted
So if anyone has any front quarter passenger side wings in silver for sale please can you give me a u2u!

I'll try... it's pay day today and now i've got to get 3 tyres...( 1 thats flat, then the spare which is down to canvas, back right which is nearly illegal)... then get a new spanner thing to do the bolts. and possibly even new bolts. The ones i have are old school and you have to put a bolt into the nut then a spanner on to undo. Think i may jus invest in new nuts all together lol. Then i also have to get the tracking done! Oh and the wing 
Looks like its goin to be abit tight this week as car insurance is due too

Has it been one of them days today?
Got home from work, about to reverse onto the drive, clutch cable snapped, bugger.
Drove it back to work a bit later when it was quiet and brought the van back so I've not gotta battle with the lack of a clutch cable in rush hour tomorrow.
Pulling up on the front, steering goes heavy, battery light on, fan belt had fell off, bugger.
Managed to sus out how it goes back on after much head scratching, then eventually actually got it back on, then I needed to get some photos off my camera, connected it to the computer, wouldn't recognise it, bugger.
Took the memory card out, into the card reader, won't recognise it, bugger.
Give up now, photos can GTF. Need a new clutch cable for the Corsa tho

Got car booked into a place 5 minutes up the road. Don't what the cost is as of yet  Was a total ball ache earlier.... I'm having my dad drive behind me tomorrow morning as 2 tyres are down to the canvas
Interested in the wings tho... what sort of price you looking at and do you know of places to get them sprayed as the cars silver. Don't fancy driving to liverpool tho.. Can you post them? You can throw in a free set on CS stickers too if you like
