Well, it's back and we're all very pleased to have it again.

The guys have done a fantastic job of it and everything is working as it should.

Here's some pics, took the opportunity to partially de-badge (diesel scripts at the front wing repeaters and the big P O R S C H E on the rear lid) as not a fan of the current excess of badging on the new cars. Had the calipers painted too:

Well I've done around 800 miles of mixed driving since we collected the car Thursday evening and I'm pleased to report that the car is exactly as it was pre accident, no rattles or niggles and the paint looks as it did.

Forgotten how nice it was and how well it goes too!

Yep!

Have to clean it in the morning though as I have my RoSPA advanced retest.
