thanks mate, it's a huge improvement at least

Yeah I think you're right
they're next on the list but I've got to do a service of the car: engine, brakes, the lot so sideskirts will have to wait for a little bit

Just done a nice service. Brakes, all oils and filters, fluids, coolant etc.
Just as well I done brakes, think the old pads were a bit shot!

Thank you mate, I'm feeling confident!
Mentioned it to my mum as was telling her it was fancy dress (would of been a laugh) but she then reminded me I'm heading off to Coventry to check out the uni on 27th so unfortunately won't be able to make it. I'll keep an eye out on the events page and will definitely come to the next local one though, would be good to meet some fellow grande punto'ers
How was the Uni in Cov. One look at my location will make you see why i ask. Be ace to have another GP member in Cov!

Eibach sportlines
The uni was actually really nice. Went to look at Oxford Brookes though and now favour that one but we'll see!
I'd bet a mortgage on Eibach Sportlines
Spot on

Ohhh man, unlucky. My dad once took a new Impreza for a test drive couple years ago and hit a pheasant. Handed it back to them with the bird in the front grill. Random story for you.
What you going to do about the bumper? That looks like quite an unusual spot of damage. Like a chunk missing? Perfectly pheasant head shaped too by the looks of it!

Yeah, but unfortunately these things happen round my area. Blooming countryside. Haha coar, bet they weren't overly impressed
Yes perfectly pheasant head shaped! Did hit it at about 60 so I don't think there was much left of him after he had tumbled over my car and got ran over by the car behind. I haven't really decided, I might have a look on eBay to see if there are any decent second hands going (same colour of course) but will also get some quotes to get it fibre-glassed and painted. If it turns out a replacement is cheaper I will opt for that and keep this as a spare in case something worse happens to the replacement in the future!

Bad luck man! We country folk have to deal with these things haha. I hit one at around 70mph whilst overtaking someone a while ago, pretty scary stuff, wasn't as central as yours so no damage, mind you i've never ever seen a pheasant fly so far! lol let alone on its own accord!
Bumper doesn't look too bad it must be saveable no? Grill on the other hand New one for Xmas?

haha wow, that was lucky it did no damage!Yes bumper is saveable, not too worried about it now, was obviously just a little annoyed at the time. Yep
Oh really? That's great, where from?
Just looked at the last few pages, what a lovely example of a GP you have! Great work.
EDIT: Prefer it without the pheasant, fyi.
