Default Dented Sill

Last year at the IOM Megameet, as many of you know, I span off causing a lot of damage to my bumper, and dented in my sill.

The bumper was replaced shortly after, although I'd shoved some headlamp washers in the holes despite them not being functional (JDM y'see).

I've only just got round to getting the sill repaired, and decided to get those bumper holes filled at the same time. Also added a neat little OEM copy spoiler from Racing Raven on fleabay.

Anyhoo, here are the results.

Dented:



Getting fixed:



Repaired:



Spoiler:



Bumper:




OK, I didn't get the chance to photograph the bumper before I crashed it again. Car back at ~11am on Saturday. Bumper smashed in at ~5pm Saturday.

Still, it looked good for a few hours.

Thanks fellas. Victim of circumstance this time. Fecking farm traffic. Just lucky MQ was keeping her distance, otherwise the back would have had it too.

Saturday afternoon. Went for a spin with MQ, rounded a bend to find a Landrover in front of me waiting to turn in to a field. Slammed on the brakes, but there was no escaping his mean old towbar.

I seem to remember you nearly ending up down a bank on the January DTV Meet and you weren't even driving... are you cursed?
