    168 for sale, cheap too

    well jolly good for you! how enthusing that must be. :roll: The funny thing is that whilst dreaming, someone must have bought it as the car is now sold and i am 12k better off. if you sold an M3 why buy a 182 when you could have had the cream of the crop and owned a trophy - Nightmare...

    My bad Week - dent - Avoid car parks

    ouch that is a nasty one! ive had plenty removed in the past and all come out perfect - that is a bad one though - metal may be too stressed for a perfect job but it will look miles better. hope it gets sorted mate - parking dents are a personal hate of mine.

    A sad, sad day!

    I like the idea mate - but for me it may be asking for trouble. if the scumf*cks hear about it they may decide to do a proper job on it before the camera is set up, or they may see it as a challenge and go and do something when 'hooded up' etc etc. I know its a tough one to swallow and i...

    there is no adjustment on the hinges - they are welded - suspect they are abent like you say. TBH it will more likely be the reciplricle part of the door itself that is bent i'm sorry to say. good luck hope it gets sorted
