Re: Hit a deer !! What to do next ?? (photo added)

Hi Jc the last time the wing was damaged it was more the front of the wing and the lights the front part of the wing was pushed down towards the lights so it wasnt as bad . I am guessing thats why they just used filler, thinking back though I should have had a go at doing it myself . Cheers Alex

I dont know if its purely coincidental or this oil is no good for my 2 litre laser because the car is now putting out blue smoke at start up. I am a new owner to the car s...
