    If only the pictures gave justice to that feeling.
    I'll take some tomorrow.
    In the mean time while I sink my first comfort beer...
    Has anyone got a spare front and rear bumper and both front wings for a mk1 cabriolet?[:$]

    Nah, I'm just buzzin that it didn't flip.
    Sat in the car basically on my side waiting for it to either completely roll or right.
    It righted itself and I drove off.
    It's a mildly different shape but it's still a golf, it still drives straight and the roof still goes up and down.

    Not sure why, i was locking up all over the place in the lanes in south devon over crimbo, and spinning wheels in 3rd at low revs the roads were so bloody greasy. Seriously in need of a few days heavy rain to clean the road surfaces down.

    In the light of day it aint too bad.
    Worst is the front bumper, sits to one side where the passenger side front end went into the wall first.
    The chassis leg has shaped itself around the radiator
    The back bumper is showing damage where it met the wall and they decided to lean the car on it's side for a bit.
    One arch trip has broke and it's surprisingly solid underneath.
