Title: After a FIVE month wait....It's back!
Post by: Bane on June 22, 2010, 12:13:29 am

Some of you may remember my ED30 that got smacked in the mouth by a Megane?
Well,I just got it back the other day,almost five months to the day,that itwas so cruelly taken from me.
Gave it good wash and polish today and took some pics.

Thats a real nodding dog on the parcel shelf,that is!

TBH,I wasn't sure about getting it back,what with the damage caused and all,but after I drove it home,the grin factor just kept on rising!

Nice to see it back. Have you pushed it to see if there's any rattles/noises/problems?

Cheers all!
Yeah,it was a bit of a piss-take.The body shop it went to is well known for taking their time,but they did an absolutely bang on job.
All parts replaced with genuine VW stuff(no pattern parts used,to cut corners) and spot on paintwork.You'd be hard pushed to tell that anything happened at all! No rattles or squeeks that weren't there before,either.Not that there were any to begin with!  :grin:
