    HELP. AGAIN!

    Basically, they are giving me the car back. And are giving me the money to repair it myslef. Most of the damage is cosmetic, except for the key. So ideally i could do with a new lock set (new or used) to repair the car.

    Thanks for your responses. The insurers have confirmed it WILL be classed as a stolen/recovered car on HPI. As its a legal requirement for them to register as it was reported to the police. there will obviously be mechanical damage that they cant see or assess which im sure i will end up...

Ive tried many many times and you cant launch unless you rev really high. However taking the ESP makes...

    Anyones Used Pentagon Glass For Tinted Windows ( Bury )?

    IVe used the branch in Birmingham severaltimes, and most recently on the new S3 the Pentagon in Romford. Pentagon's service is absolutely excellent and their quality is impeccable. As said earlier alot of famous people use them and AFAIK alot of dealers use them as preffered partners.
