some of you may have read my thread about my damaged alloys
http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=83235&highlight=cracked+rims
i since ordered a new set of the same alloys and a pair of nankoang tyres for the rears, all of which should be arriving early next week, in the mean time i have kept use of the car to a minimum, mainly just for work which is about a 6 mile round trip
i take it out tonight to see my mate and what happens? one of the cracked spokes gives up the ghost whilst going round a bend, luckily i was in the middle of town and not going any speed, but as i felt it give way it understeered and glanced off a barrier of a construction site!!
damage? well obviously the wheels is fecked, where the one spoke has completely cracked through it has rubbed on my caliper, no obvious damage just superficial, bodywork wise, well its dented all my front wing, scratched all the front bumper wing and rear wheel arch bulge, wing mirror glass came out but luckily did not smash and i managed to clip it back in no probs, all in all it could of been so much worse in a different situation and i know really i shouldnt of been driving it, but hey ho!!
il get some pics up tomorrow before i take her down the body shop, ooo my poor baby
