Hi Trevor,

Thanks

I tried the second one and they have one for $125 + GST.

I was going to wait to see if floating kiwi is going to scrap his and see what we can do.

Before you decide, also try the guy at Waiuku, he is good to deal with. Wreckers usually use as yardstick, half the new price.

Cool Spares for SVX including the lights

Cool Bad morning reply

Trevor,
well I did a similar thing in November decided to back out of the drive with the SVX - only issue was I had just parked the mitsubishi behind & to the left.
Then during a blonde moment I turned the wheel to clear a tree branch only to graze the drivers door of the mitsi with the SVX bumper (I did not actually feel anything - apart from when I got out of the car, then I felt sick...)

The door of the mitsi cost $850 to fix & the paint on the SVX bumper was $200.

Makes for a bl...dy expensive 20 foot drive!!!

Spot of confusion here, Alex/Trevor but not a problem.
