Nice little mini mate. Just read through. Glad you have him quickly repaired and looking fantastic again! Did they admit liability in the end?

[fattail95]

Looks amazing again! I saw earlier in the thread there was a huge orange peel pattern around the front of the wings, around the headlights. Is it gone now?
