Yes the work was all done by herrod, what do you want to know about it?

As said earlier great cruise, had a great time... and a bit of a scare when sunny almost went up the back of me too. Ill give my pics to someone else to post up for me as i have unbearably slow internet.

Congrats Krys on your post count! Thanks, it's already looking better so hopefully it'll look like new in no time. Ironically my grille seems to sit better now than it did before the accident! It used to sit further out than the headlights. Now it sits flush!

and, if your car was lowered already, the tow hitch may well have slipped over the bumper, and taken out your left headlight ;p

My suggestion to Dezzler take a day or two when you are free head down to the wreckers on center road and get the parts you will need and repair some new one if possible if you got the money and want the EA to keep on going for longer miles

LOL. On the topic of ride height, I still can't understand how I got red paint on the bonnet! Surely my bonnet is higher than the red stripe on Adz's rear bumper!

That's what I'm going to do. I saw a silver bumper at that wreckers a few weeks back, so I'm going in tomorrow. Hopefully that bumper is still there. Other than that, the front is looking fairly decent again (just as long as you don't look at the bonnet up close)

Well, I might possibly go there. I should hopefully have a new bumper by tomorrow arvo. I'll keep my current bonnet for now because it doesn't look that bad, and does fit better than what a good condition bonnet would (due to the bent radiator support)

If I found a good condition platinum silver EB bonnet, I'd go for that. It all depends on condition really.

Was a great day. Having been my first club cruise, I was impressed with how well it was run. A few people got lost (myself included) at the start, Adam saved us though :P driving through the spur was good, those damn guys on the bikes though! weaving in and out on the wrong side of the road.

Was dissappointed I didnt get to hear johns car dosing!

Thanks, but I should be OK. The car drives like normal, and pending bumper is starting to look fairly normal again so I should be right.

I might check it out, and if it's any good, I might get it, but it won't go on the car until the radiator support is fixed.

Was a great weekend for cruises, how many kilometers did you travel and how many cars turned up (the turned up answer may be somewhere in the thread anyway).........

Awesome photo's as well, i am sure there are heaps more not uploaded yet....

I covered about 250k's thoughout the day... not even half a tank ;)

IIRC the car count was at about 20... we had some people leave early, and some turn up late.
