looks like accelerating around the bend, rear end slides out and smacks the central reservation kerb. quite hard to bend it like that.

There are/were about 6-10 cars in the A21's hedges this week due to the ice, we even had a full-size Post Office lorry behind us drift one (LETHAL) roundabout like a champ! :eek: :mad: (we nearly under steered off in my 'lil bro's brained-up/traction control/rear brake stabilization/active diff SEAT Leon so we were looking backwards knowing he would have issues)

A21 crash of the month last month? Honda NSX!

These wheels are rare as! I had one for my mark 1 that was found in a garage clear out, and couldn't find anymore anywhere. sold the 1 wheel for £175 to someone with 3.
Call me on 07858 151 197 - leave a message if no answer as i am probably busy! Will call you back!
