Yeah mate, that is a great win for the price. Pretty sure that he realises this is a personal job that isnt covered by insurance. I would suggest if insurance claim it wouldve been +$15k...

Cuddles and top shelf alcohol is advised... Get cracking, if you need a hand or tools etc to do some yourself im in the northern suburbs. Let us know.

Mate I think its the smarter option. Money & sanity wise.. Just devastating $10k on mods would have been fun... :-(

On a side note, I can't tell on the phone, but if you need a new hatch door, I might buy your inner tail lights and possibly rear wing if new 2 comes with it.. ;-)

Spewing about the accident Nick but it could've ended up worse so glad you've escaped with just a few sore muscles.

Re: roofliner - how much of a distraction is a beige colour than a charcoal colour? It's mostly above eyeline... You'll get used to it. $700 difference is nothing to sneeze at.

Even dye it or just have it relined by someone. Very easy to do!

Thanks Alex. Barry has said to hold off on the roof trim. He wants to replace the airbag and refit the trim and see how it looks after. You can see from the pics its only torn near the outer edge, cross fingers on that.

There will be no beige, I repeat no beige in my hairdressers car.

Cheers.

Car will be towed to Paramount Vehicle Services sometime this week.

Just trying to decide on whether to go for a fixed back seat. If I am only doing 8-10 events per year I am not sure if it's worth it??

Probably will answer my own question here but I guess after what happened I would be mad not to right.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.
