Glad to hear the car didn't cost too much to fix.
Reminds me of my mate, he managed to ding the door of his then partner's Megane on a post. He ended-up getting a door from the internet. It was the right colour and everything.Never Knowingly Understood.

Yes, it would have been a brilliant result to find one exactly the same colour. Actually, OH tracked down another one the same model as my car and in the right colour but there wasn't much salvageable on that one. The doors were in a worse state than mine apparently! He said it looked as if it had been through the crusher already:rotfl:0

Well just been paid so having balanced the budget able to put magnificent £250 towards ef. This is made up of getting some very rare overtime in Jan and being ultra frugal, I'm getting so I hate spending money! There is lots of ot available at work but it's always the same people who get in first for it, like the rest of us don't need any extra! What do they know:rotfl: I secretly think they might be on DMPs/Iva's
EF now up to a superb £450. Thanks to this thread spurring me on, thanks everyone:TSCP # 034
