mabey thats why they didnt tell me... so i would just drive off and think i did it somehow... to protect the mechanic that did it possibly?

i never take my cars to dealers full stop... i dont trust them, i can do everything myself and to a much higher standard then the dealership... im usually not rushed for time (i have another car and a motorbike) plus my old man is a mechanic so when i get stuck i ask him for help!!! i dont even want them to look at the car tomorrow TBH or get anyone there to fix it as i know they will break all the clips and damage things

good news my fellow idirty driving friends!

i had a talk to the workshop manager this morning, i didnt trust the service/circus advisor. they are going to fix my car... i said i wanted a new bar not that one touched up and he agreed, even said he would be devistated if it happened to his car and they are going to give me a loan car while mine is off the road...

im still pissed that it happened especially considering the car had 837km on it when it did happen and more cut that its not going to have the original paint on the front bar... they can seldom match the quality, peel and colour that the is done when the car is built... but at least they are going to fix it with no out of pocket expense for me!

lol yer i suppose, did i tell you what else happened saturday...

i had my hair cut at the same time as the car was being serviced/damaged! FAIL... i said i want it a bit long on top so i can spike it up/make it a kind of mohawk, i think the barber only heard mohawk as he used #2 and took 2 lines out then shaved the sides leaving me with a 1980s style mohawk.

i was devistated LOL it looked stupid so i had to go and shave my head #2 all over to match it now i look like a skin head

ohh ohh i nearly forgot! i bought a set of genuine mud flaps and floor mats today :razz:

only took 30min to fit up the mudflaps! LOL pretty good set as well they included all the screws, bolts and clips for them, even tho the only thing you need is the 4 clips for the rear mud flaps as the rest are in the body already :mrgreen: *puts spare screws in the screw jar*

hahah good one dogga!!!

anyway today i cracked the sh!7'5, i drive a 100km round trip to work, its usually spent in traffic, this car doenst have a UHF CB in it so i bought a nice one today... to the tune of $500 LOL its a GME TX3440 anyway its a beauty everything is on the "micraphone" so i dont have to go cutting holes anywhere

and i also asked the bloke to throw in a "glass mount" arieal, he did!!! its the same as the mobile phone car kit ones so its not going to look out of place on the i30! so ive got a nice job next weekend :D

i was thinking of mounting it under the center console or passanger seat, taking power from the "power outlet" and running the coax up under the carpet, behind the glove box and up the "a" pillar to the top of windscreen on the left hand side...
