.... I've crashed it :cry:

Im definetley not impressed with Matador tyres. In the dry was fine loads of grip, but then it started to rain. Anyway numerous "episodes" later of comedy sideways action while doing stupidly slow speeds I was driving down a notoriously bad bid of road which is just off Bridge Lane, Horbury. I was going about 25mph and the car was full on 4 wheel drifiting round some of the corners. Anyway spot a corsa in my rearview coming down the hill at silly speeds. I was going round a 75 degree left at this point doing maybe 35mph and the arse was twitching all over. Anyway he comes round the same corner at maybe 50mph, so I thought fuck this he's gonna hit me up the arse and nailed it up to maybe 45mph. He still clipped my rear corner when I swerved, and I ended up completely sideways, mounted the kerb and hit a lamp post. The chav cunt in the corsa sped off but I got a partial reg.

Anyway car is fucked its definetley off to scrapyard. Gonna get the alloys off if I can and anything else anybody wants but im goin tomorrow so you'll need to get in quick.

Its a shame but my dads checking the reg on the police computer for me so I can go and get some money off em.

Will put some pics up later its definetley not pretty.

Sorry to here that dude, the amount of effort you were putting in was looking good.

Without wanting to sound vulture like, can I have the front splitter (3piece on the valance) and the steerign wheel. What condition are the doors in?

Im not sure if i'm getting it back yet cost £185 to get it recovered so mite just stop answering the phone. The front splitter is non existant. The doors are good so could get em off. The wheels are good I think but would need new tyres. The bootlid is mint.

Ouch, unlucky mate... that one in the offer section would look good with the pair of doors and your bootlid though...

EDIT: If you don't want the doors, then I would - although getting them here would be tricky in a saloon :cry:

Real shame. If I were you, I'd save the boot lid if you can, or at a minimum the spoiler.

It's sad to ear that mate

The mini lip spoiler if no one wants it, can be mine :)

Thing is to get the parts off i'll have to pay £185 which is a lot of money lol. Wish I had the time as i'd get the engine aswell as it was running great.

That's why you should always have recovery! You will have to pay the £185, after all they know where you live!

If you want another one my GLE is still available...
