The minor damage to my front wing that some of you may recall was done to my poor SM only 8 days after I collected it has been repaired and the missing trim from the roof rail replaced, so for the first time in a number of weeks Musky is complete and immaculate!

The wing repair cost me £60 - not bad at all for a well-done job. The roof bar trim, which the dealer would not contemplate as a warranty issue, cost me a few pence under £20, and that at cost price (list price would have been £25). Still £80 to have the SM back into shape seems a small(ish) price - isn't it odd how a car always feels better when any damage has been put right, even if it was only cosmetic?

I agree. I even think that a car seems to drive better when it's been cleaned. Sounds mental I know....

Still have to rescue the pictures from France that are on the card in my wife's camera!
