Car pulled out in front of me on a roundabout, she waited until she could see the whites of eyes, I braked but hit her at about 5mph but it was a solid hit. crazy

I am expecting the usual run around with insurance, the bonnet is toast as is the bumper. Are these still available?
I am quite upset as I have owned the car for the last 11 years..........

Well, got the car back Saturday, leisurely drive back to Surrey from Herefordshire. Drives like a dream.
I cannot thank Joe enough for his attention to detail.
Everything fixed and done and what I asked for and so many bits I didn't list were done too!

It pays to use a specialist who knows the car.
I am very happy!
PS now got "dentophobia" so will not park it at the supermarket any more!

Excellent work Joe! Great job sticking with her Taff, it would have been so easy to just break her and for us to lose another coupé from the family! thumb

Ps. I like the standard wheels wink

I looked at all the options but I am too attached to the car to let it go that easily.
There was a load of hidden work done by Joe, clutch, drive seals, silicon hoses, handbrake cables, full service, rear disks, refurbed wheels and lots more detailed stuff!

I like the wheels too but sometimes I feel they look small, the coating Joe has used somehow makes them look bigger, much more reflective than the standard colour (though my wheels were very dull beforehand)
