Ek stel voor, dreig met die brief en kry hule om dit te fix. Hulle kan as hulle moet.
As dit nie werk nie, pos die brief vir Wegry en vat jou kar na Ben, laat hy hom fix.

Well, this saga seems to have come to an end and I really appreciate your support.
I have decided (against my warring nature) to just get this over with in the least amount of effort.
Took the vehicle to get the electrics looked at. between 10 and 20 fuses later... everything seems to work.
R600 to reroute the exhaust: working fine now.
Charles sent a man over to replace the burnt light: Working fine now...
I can finally drive around again in my favorite Patricia.

Basically what you would want: looks sturdy, nice jerry can holder, very little vibration.

Metal work and finishing looks good. Well rounded.

Attachment to body could be better. This looks like someone's child did the work...
All in all, a decent bumper. But purely due to the service I received... I'm never going back there again.
Cheers!

let's party.

If I've managed to save just one other person from that hellish place.. I've done my job.

Well,
It is a neat looking bumper
Did it improve your departure angle?
You can still do with some mud flaps at the back

Honestly... I'm not sure. It looks pretty much the same to me... But I'll have to find someone with an original bumper to compare.
