i was driving up to a roundabout and saw this car, didn't take much notice of it as he had already passed me, made my way onto the roundabout and thought " weres that car?" " oh sh1t it's in front of me" broke hard and the rears locked and hit the roundabout.
i reckon it was becouse my disc were worn to f*ck and actually had the discs sitting in my garage to fit.
Damn!
demo
hoping to spray, centre console,mfd and L and R fan surrounds.

na, gives me the chance to get a post 97 bumper which is what i've always wanted, "good excuse " and will have to mesh the top grill temporarily for PVS.
well unlucky, brakes are changed now, new discs and mintex pads, just gott install elecy sunroof and spray interior and that list above. hopefully nobody looks at the bonnet. 
how you broster.
