Default UNLUCKYSCOOB!
Well guys, as I said before, my car is not a 'luckyscoob'. Sitting outside the office on tuesday, heard a bang, and somebody 'trying to park' reversed into the back of it. Taken it in today and its a new bumper.

Yes mate. They were as good as gold, really sorry. Got all insurance details so should be straight forward anyway. The insurance co said they'd give me like for like. And.............................. A Honda accord 2.2 TDCi. Well, i suppose its japanese and had 4 wheels. I did ask if they had an STi or an evo, but no

Yeah, and the company are now changing the honda courtesy car as they are supposed to do like for like. Could be an EVO!

I have also decided while its in the body shop, to have the wheels done in a dark anthracite. I'd love to change them for 18's, but with things as they are cant really justify it. Still, looking forward to seeing them a different colour:

I had a blue lip on my 04 STI's black wheels. Looked amazing! was only about 10mm deep and just set the wheels off nicely.

If I was buying new 18's then I would go for black with red pipe. Now I am only painting mine, I dont think the red pipe will look the same on 17's. May make them look even smaller. So, the plan is to do these for a year or so then change the wheels completely. Just cant justify the cost of new at the mo, particularly as mine still have quite a bit of life left in the tyres.
