Question do i get rid of the body kit?

to cut a ling story short, had a prang on Saturday, not my fault and now have damage to the front of my car. i had got it back 24 hours earlier from another accident a few weeks ago

the damage is to the bumper bonnet and other parts...do i ask the garage to replace, like for like on the body parts (not sure is the kit place exists anymore) or ask them to put the car back to its original state?



have a look at the profile pic of my car and please give an honest opinion. i am thinking of selling the car and think now would be a good time to make the decision.

i am winding my neck in lately


i agree with the chavness but it might sell well if it has the kit on to another chav

saying that, i dont want a chav to own my lovely yello scoob

send it back to standard... I think it will be a) easier to source the parts and b) would help with the resale value unless you can find a like minded woman to sell it to

women and bananas dont seem to go together very well

the car is still on my drive. do you think the insurance would do it. my side skirts match the kit, would they have to replace them to match the original parts?

It's appalling and I'm sure you know it.
The prang made it better IMHO.
Taking it back to standard will make recompense for the modified mess it was.

get the skirts off altogether along with rear spats, go for the r.a. skirtless look. that would look cool on cashmere yellow or whatever colour your car is.

bit harsh dont you think. seen a lot worse on here currently, with stoopid square skirts and silly front/rear bumpers.

thing is imho with sara's car, the mods kinda went with the original lines better than a lot of other kits, ie chargespeed etc.

I'd also put it back to standard if you're thinking of selling it because it'll be much easier to sell like that. You can sell off what you have left of the kit then

Much worse doesn't make this kit/car good.
To be fair, I think the OP was expecting most responses to say something negative against the kit. Why ask otherwise?
Call a spade a shovel where I was brought into this world.
All credit to those that attempt to make a factory designed car 'better'. It rarely works without very skilled people to do the design and engineering. As an artist I'm sure you'll understand?

i asked advise on what i shoud do. say for instance i posted up a pic of myself with a different colored hair, i wouldn't expect someone to be derogatory about my big nose (i dont have a big nose btw).

Unwanted??

Why/how is an honest opinion 'unwanted'?
