up to now its my least favourite car!

Im in the market for some nice wheels if anyone has any?

The list of cars iv had is massive. I bought this as my wife had a baby and the baby seat woulda fit in the back on my landrover as it was a 3 door and the doors are stupidly short!

I got offered this and it looked like a nice safe car to have a child in! Plus it goes pretty fast when im out and about without the baby in it!

Up to now one thing after another is going wrong with it and it's really annoying coz I want to like it but when I start to like it something else happens!
Its not unreliable at all, it's just I keep f**king it up :-(

There is some maint spray on the scuttle for 2 reasons! I was cleaning up the engine bay and spraying some I the plugs and connectors and also it looks shiny in the pics :)

Cracked wind screen
crap attempt at tinting windows
door trim fell off an got run over
Rear seatbelt retaining hook thing snapped off
2 holes appeared in my dash over night!
Some ball bag reversed into it while parked up
random parking dents appearing every day
bumper is stone chipped loads
fromt lights were too cloudy so I decided to tint them a bit and it looks dogger close up.
Hate the wheels, got money to spend on wheels but can't find any nice ones
dented bonnet while closing it

Owned it about 2 months..... I can't wait to start liking it!

Nothing too drastic then, just annoying. In regards to the headlights you shoul try wet sanding them then polishing them up. There's a guide on here somewhere if you get stuck. You'll need to be a paid member to view though.

That is also a little annoying! I don't even get the chance to decide if I like the forum yet.
£12 is a small amount of money but if I don't use the site much then it's a waste!

Anyway! Mussnt grumble :)

Iv been offered a new set of lights for 30quid which is really good! Local too!

Does the bumper have to come off to change the headlights?

yea, but you do get discounts from some suppliers if you are a member, it pays for its self. also the guides are handy and you get to see the for sale section etc, its money well spent imo!!!

well paying the £12 to come a member and seeing how easy it is to sort the lights out rather than £30 for new ones lol

Most of those problems aren't the car's fault!

Near enough all those problems have happened since I got her!

She did pass her not first time last week which is a positive!
