Thanks ! Only bit of damage is right at the bottom underneath the front bumper on the right hand side where it must have hit the floor going into my grandads garage. There used to be a massive dip in the road as you drive in.

Approved.
Nice to see folk representing the Loons.
And those wheels are more badass than black-jesus.

Ive always liked the saloons better to be honest but then I've never been a hatch back man of any type of car. We should arrange a national saloon meet ha ha. Mind you a national v3m meet in general would be good
