Had a little incident on sat night, dam taxi slammed its breaks on and i went into the back of it...... Was at less then 10 mph so no damage to the lady and i and only a little to the car... as you can see in the pics...! Damm taxi only had a tiny dent and some of my red paint work :mad: He wasn't bothered at all, obviously not an "owner driver"...

Anyway looks like i'll be needing a front bumper (chrome) a left hand wing ~(passenger) and maybe a lower front panel.. and a bonnet. Pretty sure there is no damage to the structure, just found a load of rust though.... Didn't even break the lights... Think the m-tech spoiler is fine (phew....)

So if any has got any of these parts near central london let me know, just need to get it looking tidier as the council have a tendacy to take "crashed" cars around here, also its pretty likely to get vandelised... :cry: :cry:
Would prefer zinnober panels, but anything will do at the mo just to get it moving, don't really car if they are a bit rusty.

M3 style blistered wings....

D'oh :roll:

I hear what you're saying about the crashed cars being vandalised, my dad's car took a knock on the door in a blizzard last year and he had to leave the car....coming back for it 3 hours later someone had decided to jump on the roof and cave it in by a foot....bar stewards :x

This was on a quiet country road as well :-x

Hope it's as good as new when it's sorted :thumb:

Yes probably true...

Was a bit ooops really!

Will thanks for the offer of the bonnet, i might take you up on that, needing a wing and a bumper first though as I think i can bend the bonnet back for the time being.

Not that bothered as i was going to replace these panels anyway in the near future...

Just annoyed as was going camping in wales....as the headlight was nocked out of position we couldn't go... Sounds like it was nice weather over there as well :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

I think I have a chrome front bumper off my 318i, haven't looked at it in a while but I think it was in pretty good nick, only issue is the postage from Belfast. Will try and stick some pics up of it if you are interested/can't get one elsewhere.
