What a berk

Post by grumpywurzel » Sat Jan 21, 2017 1:57 pm

Gutted, guess which mong has just kerbed his wheel  :rant: :wall: :wall:

Gutted isn't the word! That'll be another £70 down the toilet to fix  :(

This car is costing me more than the Mrs does lately, and that's a mean feat!

Just think of all the things you could have done with £70, an oil service, new pads, buy some glasses :-[

Is it that bad? I mean do you have to definitely get it repaired right now? You might end up just scuffing it again

Tis truly gutting BUT I don't worry anymore about these things as they just can't be helped sometimes. I'd leave it for a while just in case it happens again LOL.

Bought a paint repair kit off Amazon, when it warms up a bit I will give it a go. Knowing my luck the stuff will fall off when washed lol
