I've got Nightshift tonight, then I'm off to a wedding for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing left to do is wheel alignment n maybe some comprehensive insurance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 1m 15d Posted 18/10/13 06:17 AM Share Posted 18/10/13 06:17 AM What about the wheels and tyres? Pretty cheap considering the damage. Have you had the chassis checked to make sure its 100% straight? Didn't hit that hard but still worth checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sct911 Member 848 Member For: 12y 28d Gender: Male Posted 18/10/13 06:22 AM Author Share Posted 18/10/13 06:22 AM nothing needed to be done regarding wheels and tyres, just used spare rim . Not going to bother with chassis check, if it is bent, so be it, I'm still keeping the car. Had the car checked out by knowledgeable people while car was on stands at home, should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
