poorly wheel
« on: 13 April 2010, 17:53 »
 :cry:

Not happy, i went to a little village today to price a job up and an Artic was trying to get through the parked cars,
I pulled over to let him weave through, as he was getting upto me i could see that if i stayed where i was he was going to take the full side of my car out,
Only choice i had was to mount the kerb  :angry: :angry:

Oooooh... nasty  :cry:
Hopefully you can find a local repair man who can fix it for a reasonable price.

Got a price to do all 4 wheels cos a couple of them are stonechipped,
Repaint and satin laquer £100 (not laquered at mo and dirt just sticks like glue)
So the R32 wheels will be back on for a few days  :rolleyes:
