Sure does :( But on a brighter note, I got 2 new headlights, new bonnet, bumper, grill, rad, intercooler and a lot of other bits for a bargain £250 excess :D

Bit of a drastic way to sort some stonechips but, hey?



Without the odd sh*t day, you'd never appreciate the good ones :D

That's a good way of looking at it punts :-)
The trick is trying to figure out which day is which :lol:

I'm a little shocked that they didn't write your van off tho, a lot of times they do.
