Hahaha your not wise

When you get them back you must take a run down to see the new house and the car. Also my dads home on the 24th of November, I told him to bring back some cigarettes for you

Anyone know if you can get the front and back bumper, black trim inserts new?

My painter tried fitting them and they have went all out of shape on the corners and he has no idea what do to.

Cheers for any help
