So it has come to this... Cleaned the car last night and this morning this happen!!

I'm still in a state of shock, I am alive that's the main thing and the woman driver behind me was to blame, she didn't see me!! I was stationary as there was traffic so my guess is you was on the damn phone!!!

The car has been taken away.. My guess it's a write off and I'm afraid this time I won't bring it back to life...

Cleaned




And now this!!!!!

Thanks for the comments. Exhaust sounds really nice, I thought it was going to be really loud but its not too bad actually.

Chris: needs a new o2 sensor because they knocked it when fitting the exhaust and now the eml is on.

Man I feel for you. Had my 205 written off, it was immaculate.
Buy it back and strip it for parts. Probably be about 600-700 I'd guess.

Oh... And dibs!

Ah cool, atleast you got it sorted in the end.

No ive got to buy one, they fitted the exhaust cheap anyways and it wasnt entitely there fault because the old exhaust was being a pain to come off.
Its the Primary sensor I believe.

There was some threads on clubrsx, saying they had found sensors with same denso part numbers for about half the price.
Worth a look.

Mate for that price you'd be stark raving mad not to buy it back! Strip it for parts, buy another and make a tidy little profit out of it!

Very sorry sight to see, but every cloud.... :)

I've just been trying to tidy up the engine bay a little with the help of two people I'd like to thank.

Watkins DW has done the spraying. Sourced the Nighthawk Black paint and charged mates rates - Thank you bud, very pleased with it all.

Brockstar has been putting some stainless steel engine bay dress up kits together so I've made a start with fitting some of these whilst refitting my freshly painted bits. A few pics to showcase their efforts but will put more in my build thread over the next few days :)

Freshly sprayed bits picked up today:



Some before and after shots:
