You did less damage than SWMBO who did 2k's worth of damage to mine by relocating the OSF wheel 2 inches further back than it should have been. Cue new wheel, and all the nice suspension parts, two new tyres, etc etc - and knackering the alternator pulley/clutch in the process....ouch.

She hit a pothole, then on the ice clobbered a kerb all in the same manoeuvre...

Be interesting to see how much you get lifted off cash-wish as my lower-half front valence is cracked and am curious about replacement cost....

Cheers,
Dan.

i got away with it quite lightly then by sounds of it. had i not been in work and with no choice but to drive home, would not have used the car during that weather. a few years ago i said to my son i would skid the car round a corner during snow and of course i got it all wrong and buckled my alloy on kerb. still not quite as bad as 2k thou
