Good to see the airbags didn't go off. They cost a fortune to reset at a Vauxhall dealer.

Just a bit of isopon, followed by a visit to Halfords for some touch up and some Autoglym magic potion and she'll be good as new.

 ;D ;D ;D

would it really need that much effort?

its the way the light hits it that makes it look severe, on closer inspection, a bit of wet and dry will fix it!!

Yeah, as the barge captain said.

I looked at this and thought, now, an Omega pickup would be rather cool

Anyone else?

I remember that.  Not sure about the paint but it was nicely done bodywork wise though.
