Sorry, its wasn't original - I heard that one about 10 years ago. Still its not a bad bit of rhyming slang.

The repair looks good, it did look rather terminal so well done for sticking with it. Did you also get the front inner wings done? It's nice to see a standard car getting some love :D

Many thanks for that. I took some piccies of the front inner wings yesterday...

... I don't know what they did underneath those panels, but it seems quite solid. Yes, standard is the word, no modding or racing for me... you've just got to think about what happened on the North Circular a few days ago to know it doesn't make sense to be out there racing around the place ;-0
