I can concur on the costs of that job, my car was in with Marios at the time and the list of damage from that little lot was
so its not all black & white
Ah , thanks lanedO , I must admit , when I got the bill I felt rather sick , I knew they could be expensive to repair but after only having her for a couple of months and then being hit like that I seriously began to doubt my purchase . It took me quite a while to even open the garage door to see her after that . I started looking at TVRs and , dare I say it , Boxsters again , then the weather picked up and we started the relationship over again , I am happy to say that we are now in a good place , I have altered the exhaust ( X pipe and modded back boxes , thanks Jason ) fitted alloy pedals and a new battery , I have got a genuine wind break and a set of nav CDs ( thanks Vince ) I have cleaned the interior and polished up the exterior also taken the wheels off and have deep cleaned the callipers and wheel arches and suspension also fitted re furbed wheel bolts which has made a huge difference .
The only other issue , apart from the air con and central locking not working , is the roof , when it is closed it is rather frayed & ratty looking , sometimes it doesn’t like to be disturbed at all , but I don’t really mind too much , it would be nice to have a nice condition , properly working roof , with a glass window but hey ho , summer is round the corner and there is a Yorkshire meet up on 28th April , so we are going to meet a few Masers and have a chat .
Just been looking at a Fiat 124 Spyder Abarth , hmmmm !!!
