safety tip
« on: 21 July 2013, 18:09 »
I have read on here before that someone had their wheels fall of because the mechanic didn't tighten the wheel nuts...well imagine my surprise when I heard a wobble noise coming from one of my wheels this weekend... :huh:
I just had new tires fitted to my alloys 2 weeks ago from a garage I have been going to for two years now on od jobs or problem I couldn't sort myself. Because I drive my car like once a week, i didn't notice anything until this weekend. 2 nuts I could remove with my hand and 2 was held one a a thread may be...one was still in place but hand tight...
Check your wheel nuts when having anything done with your wheels....This could have gone real bad for me.

Thats the good news for me...the bad news...I had my front bumper and rear smoothed and resprayed.......wrong silver.......gutted... :cry:
I got the code from the boot but somehow the wrong color
