Don't think T-cut will fix this one, anyone selling or knows where to get wings and skirts? Or have any info on fixing this

Quick check on eBay wings are about £200 but rang a breakers and he sells them for £100 when they're in

I'm in the Coventry area, car is black sapphire

Cheers
Holy s**t!

Paddy goes to the Scrapyard for a transit door, the fella says 50 quid, paddy says the bloke next door sells them for 40 quid, the fella says why didn't you buy theirs then? Paddy says they ain't got any left. The fella says we'll when we ain't got any, ours are 40 quid as well....
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.
