Ive been saving to get a bodykit on my car for 7 months now. Now that i am due to get it on EVERYTHING is going wrong to try to prevent me getting it on. Firstly my WRC bumper came from autofashion and it was an absolute cracked and scratched mess! then my car failed the MOT on suspension wishbones and bushes (70 quid 2 replace) Then my locking nut broke and i had to get them drilled off (35quid+a new hub!) and it wrecked 2 of my spanking reconditioned rims (another 80 quid please!!) AAAAAAAGGGGHH!! :mad:

No, the most annoying thing to happen is to get your car back from the bodyshop looking all wicked and sprayed only to have your heater matrix empty its load all over your lovely mint black carpet. Especially when the coolant's getting a bit old, brown and smelly.

Grrrrrr!!! :mad:

I once (nov '2000) was running late for work and needed to park as close to the station as poss so the car park i took, leaving my kenny face in the glove-box. Come back at around 6pm to find my doors unlocked but closed. Got inside and found all pretty coloured wires hanging out from where my stereo (used) to be! Looked in my mirror to find my shelf gone! Opened the boot to find nothing but ripped grey carpet. The TWOCERS had smacked the boot-lock with a hammer and got in through the boot! Took me kenny stereo (no code), face, JBL GTO 6x9s complete with shelf (i only put them in the night before and weren't even wired up) and a 200W bass-tube!! :eek: :mad:
