    Bugger, I had one of those a while back, except it was a crewman that got too friendly in the rear. Insurance repaired rather than replaced though

    LOL, who can seriously back into a pole that good. Your dad obviously. Nice.

    P.S on a more important note, WHY IS THERE A CHEV BADGE ON THERE. Maybe thats why your dad did that.

    loool, that sucks.

    Was in getting new exhaust fitted today, some P Plater come in, no idea WTF he had done but he reversed over something had pushed the exhaust back, and kinked it closed, this force pushed back the rest of the exhaust bent headers everything. He was trying to say he was barely moving.

    lol, he came up to me and said son im really sorry but I’ve done something that you’ll probably crack it over and didn’t say anything else, I knew had had done something to the car and I was thinking, if you've ****ing written the thing off Then found out it was the tail gate n thought phew! Its only metal

    I had a really good look at it when i came home. It would be easier to get a whole new one and then put the frame in. If i can get a genuine maloo one then sweet but realistically a normal one with a frame will probably happen. I remember seeing someone on ebay that did the number plate insert but I cant find them.

    Ill buy a new one and get that sorted and on the car then ill fix this one up and sell it
