few more little things done. paper machea bumber! taped the lights for spraying very sutle mod Also done a Pikey mod, allowing more air to the intercooler that is hidden away by the wheel arch still needs more cutting and filing then an exit to be made for the hot air into the wheel arch.

I always wanted a paper machea bumber too at fist the garage said that the car was a right off so the insurance company sent a specialist to go an confirm what they said. He said that the car can be fixed at a high price but with the cars value being high too they thought it worth while to fix it. paper machea bumbers are a cost effective alternitive to carbon fibre. I am the only person qualified to carry it out in the UK! As for changing the cars colour, i dont think i have that option, its all gettin fixed by Liverpool Victoria @ vauxhall?!? of all places just noticed in this picture im parked next to the CID!

If the whole car gets resprayed at the end of it all then the garage can do it in a different colour providing it costs no more than it would to do it standard,altho black is a sweet colour so i wouldnt change it if it were mine
How much longer til its back on the road mate?

well... -=last week=- I was told i will get in on monday15th this month, rang them monday an they said they need to do the brakes and they are having problems getting there computer to open some valves or something so was told it will be wednesday. -=wednesday=-09:30 they said they cant do the brakes so have sent it to skoda.I ring skoda 3hours later and they say the car has only just come in and is now on the ramps and should be about 1hour to fix. 15:00 ring the garage only to over hear some tit in the background say 'its not a 5min job'(no its an hour job and its been in for 2 1/2). i told him to ring skoda and find out whats goin on and call me back. 17:30 get a call to say the call is 100% fixed and just needs cleaning. i told them dont bother cleaning it i just want my car back. He says 'NO we have special cleaning stuff for your car' but i want my car back if its fixed! they told me no they want to clean it and i can pick it up 2morra at 12:00 -= Today 19th =- 12:45 <---yer i was late I go to lookers and walk around the back to collect my car. only to find this.... WTF!!!?!?! I was told it was 100% fixed! Special cleaning stuff my arse! well not happy with anything. they said they cleaned it all inside so i looked in ......... nice dashbord hey.. all they done was spray everything with some grease and made it slippy and cover all the glass and dials in it. There is big gaps in the bodywork too that are not even to the otherside. parts are missing from the engine bay and are locked away in some blokes locker and he has gone on holiday and wont be back till tuesday23rd I told the insurance company everything and there is nothing they can do. but they did tell me that Lookers have now topped up a bill of 5.3k for fixing the car. and have asked for more today to fix other things. Liverpool Victoria said they have nearly reached the cut off point were they WILL write off the car! . Im never taking a car to lookers again. -=**** ups=- car fixed date changed about 5tims forgot to paint things they replaced no RS badge New Scratch's and dints Dash not fixed in and 20+ screws in ashtray Replaced 1x alloy wheel that had 10000000% nothing wrong with it Wonky bonnet Fueling problem took my RS embroided floor mats out and put Grey corsa ones in (why the funk replace the floor mats?) Im gonna stop now cos im p!ssed off. but you get the picture.

yes , iam reading this, but if you had told me that you was taking it to that lookers i would of told you no to bother, all i have ever heard is bad thing s about the garage, my mum and dad bought a brand new corsa from there last year and the clutch was really stiff and not right, my mum took it back there twice and they kept in for a day each time and they said nothing was wrong, i took it in on the third time and kicked off about it and they didnt want to no, its just the garage, there crap and havent got a clue what they are doing
