You must've hidden it quite well, me and Jon B went to look for it to get your front lip and headlights but couldn't find it :(

i actually took the lip off!!!! they like to go walkies at times

also parked it tight to the kerb so wheels wouldnt come off either if you could get past the locking nuts.!!

Thought you would've taken the lip off, would've been stupid not to.

Are they easy to put on and take off then? An iS lip wouldn't last 5 minutes where I have to park considering they had my standard lip which is worth about a fiver 8O

10 seconds sounds like it's worth taking off every time the car's parked up then, will have to fit that on the weekend :)

I like the way you say it was "quite amusing" Kos, you didn't seem amused at the time :lol:

Can't believe you didn't even get the wheels spinning though :teehee:

Pics are a neccessity!

i was kinda fucked off at the time, but shit happens. i did call myself C@^T when it happened :-x

i was stressed as i had to get to leatherhead and the missus was waiting for me, i was supposed to be there by half eleven , that was the aggrivating factor for me. got there gone 1am!!
