Chav'scort - Ready for the MoT !!!

Roadkill · August 24, 2006, 10:56:21 AM

Yep, been out checking her today;
All the lights work.
Levels are O.K.
Tyres are good.

I've put on the Chavvy clear indicators I got off ebay (they cover the hole torn in the bodywork) - T'was a bit of a challenge, that. That new holders didn't match the wires and the new lenses didn't match the old holders.
Long story short with some simple mods and a little Insulation tape they're good to go !!!
I even managed to re-fix the bumper WITHOUT the use of cable ties.

After that I kicked and Hammered at the front wing to straighten it a little more.

Then. Then I got really carried away and put on the new £7.99 wheel trims (which were surprisingly good quality).

The result.

Well, she ain't gonna win any beauty prises but she DOES look a little better.

Total time spent on her - 40 minutes during lunch-break.

Of course . . . . the horn don't work, though, after Graeme "fixed" it.

Forgot to add : Total outlay (lights, bulbs and wheels trim) = £15.44

I budgeted £20 so some is in reserve.

Actually I spent £2.49 on glue to re-affix the rear view mirror on tonight so there's not much of that £20 left . . .

So what did you use this time?
String? Tape? Wishful thinking?

Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I've seen your chavscort - only Graeme's.

Being MoT'ed tonight.

Then I've gotta scrape some cash together (about £2,000) to buy the 4th Gen I'm eyeing up (depending on Part-ex value).

Looks like I' stuck with the Chav'scort for anoter month of so.
