Waisted Money On badges , Paint and other things I attempted myself ,cheap dashcams and memory cards.
Just to explain why I have 2 dual channel dash cams . Five times my car was damaged in 6 months .
Third Hit
Fourth Hit
Fifth Hit
The first 2 hits occurred after I had bricked my first dash cam using a cheap Sandisk memory card, so no footage , but the 1st person fronted up .
The first was a side hit that I managed to get the spare painted for free .
The second was some dick in a car park that opened his door into my car , but managed to get it fixed with the insurance on the first hit .
Each hit after these I managed to get minor damaged fixed that either I had done or some one else , so all ended good .
If I was on the ball I coulda got the headlight protectors fixed that the first panal beaters had broke when I took it in for the fourth hit , but hey **** happens

I have a pair of X-Force 3" varex mufflers that I'm willing to part with , the only prob is one is a bit rattly and the other a bit sticky and I also broke the wire taking them out as they were replaced ,but easy fixed , pm me if interested , sorry I have no experience with de fillipo
