Scooby Sammy Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 thanks guys, still continplating on getting her done like.priced it all up for me to do it, and get every thing like. comes to £443.00 inc paint.the only thing i can not do is fit the cross member. im not going through my insurrence.if your not going through insurance why wont you be able to sell it on? make sure you do a good job in repairing it and £450 down the line your car is back to normal and no damage recorded on it!!!!

dabow Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 thats true gal, so true.i've got near every part, just waiting on the red bumper i ordered. the cross member was the wrong part when i came, but lucky i was offered that whole one he also offered to weld it on, + aboth another offer. spoilt for choice.but thats all im waiting on really. once that bumper arrives, i can start cutting it up to fitthe good points, the inter cooler i got. is the same size, but is alot better quality than the one that was fitted.also the exhurst wrap came for the headers.thanks to the offer of the cross member, me scoob may be back up & runing by next week. carnt wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
