I see whay it's bad now...anyways.. this *beep* on the phone is driving all over the road (coming straight at me) I give him a quick high beam salute, but he's already too close to recover.. so I take evasive action, hit a gutter and he kept going, oblivious to the damage he had just caused...I got his plate but there was nothing the police or my insurance company could do due to myself being the only party with damage.. (RACQ even said perhaps you should have just hit him!) can you believe the state of our insurance system these days... I mean f*ck... you avoid someone and you still are out of pocket ($1000 for a claim)..DEEEEAAMMMMM!anyways... anyone know if it's possible to fix? or am I up for either a new mag wheel?... it's f*cking pissed me off heaps because I'm always ANALY pendantic about gutters and pot holes...well that's enough of a rant for me.. see the damage for yourself.. .and ask me if I'm happy! :cussing: Matt Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12344-ask-me-if-im-happy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scootre Guests Posted 14/08/04 10:38 AM Share Posted 14/08/04 10:38 AM That'll be easily fixed. Do a search on the forums for mag repairs. There was a thread with recommendations of placed to get them fixed.Bad luck though mate.

aniken I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it Donating Members 4,316 Member For: 22y 3m 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, south west Posted 14/08/04 12:45 PM Share Posted 14/08/04 12:45 PM Looks like fairly minor damage. What speed did you hit? Are there any extra noises now? Does the wheel feel loose at all? Might want to give the suspension a once over, just to be sure. My gutter incident resulted in several $k worth of repairs Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12344-ask-me-if-im-happy/#findComment-154669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
