Jam, chop it in on one with new brakes and good lights.

Or, wait in a big car park for an identical car to pull in. Bump into the owner and knock the keys out of his hand. Appologise, palm the keys and hand him yours.

Then while he does his shopping, swap the plates over and drive off in the other car.

headlight works fine. The adjustment is slightly out and you cant adjust it as the threads gone on the adjuster tool. Cant buy that seperate


brakes are similar to Z3 which is £400 most of that being discs. Which considering my Calibras where £289 discs only they are reasnable at least


why does all this shit happen when you have no money at all?!

everything on them is expensive, if you wanna swap headlights then i have no probs with it, just need to take the front bumper off and that takes about a second, might paint it while my bumper is off actually as is stonechipped to buggery.
dont worry son we'll get it sorted
