  14. Ordered new wheel today. On thursday will get 2 new tyers for the front and get geometry alaighment and for other damage, wich i did not see, inspected
     
  15. How much are they retailing at these days?

  17. Any idea how much fo a sterring rack and where to get it?
     
  18. You'd probably be best looking for a megane being broken for parts. Or k-tek might be a good place to ask if you want something like a refurbished one
     
  19. Thanks mate. Now i need a good mechanik in manchester area to tell me the real damage
     
  20. Wow, how u manage keep control?
     
  21. Got i straight and let it roll to stop, corecting and slowly pulling to the side. Did not hit the brakes, would cause more damage maybe
     
  22. Crikey. Proper job on that one!

    As has already been asked. Was it a refurbished wheel?
     
  23. Not by me. Dont know about prevoius owner
