Yeah it was huge! Unfortunately my council won't refund any damage unless the pothole has previously been reported, in this case it literally appeared over night so I was left with the bill :/
In other news my wiring loom came in from china today so I fitted my butchered steering wheel and to my elation I think it looks pretty good, and it works so there's a bonus!

The car is coming along nicely. Well done and don't stop :happy2:.

I'm looking to upgrade my rear brakes to match my fronts now.
Audi S3 rear brakes should work but I need to find some!! Or r32 rear calipers , got to find the disk size also

So this week has been an interesting one for sure, driving down a dual carriage way by my work and I notice I have got a flat tyre (only run 800 miles on a contact sport 5) so I go about changing my tyres on the side of a busy road which is no problem
At all.
So the car is jacked up, using the emergency jack that comes with the spare tyre and I'm just about to take the rear tyre off but as I pull my tyre off the hub the jack snapped... like actually snapped in half. So there I am with my wheel now on the floor brake disc firmly rested on the inside of my alloy and the car now rested on top of my arm.
It was painful to say the least, I was on my own and my phone was in the front of the car. Luckily I was at the back of the car so I could wave down someone to help me - this alone took 10 minutes before a car stopped to help me, in that time 3 police cars, 2 ambulances and countless cars/vans drove past :/ by that point my waving was pretty frantic and luckily in the end someone did stop and used his jack to raise the car to free my arm.
Anyway, I'm looking for another jack, preferably one that I can fit in the spare tyre section, any ideas for a scissor jack or something I could put some faith?
