Here are a few pics of damage that has been added to the 19 in just 12 months since i first bought her. Remember all of these dents and scratches have been picked up in the car park outside work.

Drivers front wing dent. The only one I saw happen. Was sat behind a car trying to get out the car park, the machine wouldn't accept the guys ticket so he decided to go and try clearing it again. So sticks it in reverse and doesn't check his mirrors (tit)

This one I'm not sure what happened. In fact I can only guess what happened for most of them. I'm just sick of leaving work knowing there's a good chance of there being another dent there.

He gave me his number and reg no.

I called him up and blagged £150 to get it sorted on the cheap as his excess alone was £350 and went out on the piss!!!

Anyway not so bothered about the wing as that Flipper guy is near me and has a spare on his ph2 that i can get fot £10-£15 Razz

Such a shame because I knew she needed mechanical work but the body was rust and dent free but now.............

TBH I'm a softie and thought £130 profit for my troubles wasn't too bad. No other reson than that probably should have milked it but I got 6 times more than I needed for the repair anyway.

your a muppet.

Mate ally got knocked off his moped twice and his thumb on his left arm disslocated and his right arm broken.

1st crash damage to bike alone, 2nd time day after both times going to his work he got the injuries.

Both parties are not going through insurance, so hes getting the bike fixed, hes got a quote of 600 so both parties are payign the full whack and hes getting 600 ion his pocket which si fair enough.

Have now managed to catch two women backing ito my car.

Got the port side front wing resprayed by Renault on one. The front bumper and a new P2 under the lights intake thingy fitted.

Thats why I have the spare badge I will post on monday. Renault refitted the old badge so badly that I found the thing hanging on by one pin. So I pulled the badge off and went back to Renault and said I had lost it. Not possible they said, but found me a new one anyway. muppets.
