Well, a bit of good news. A friend of a friend operates one of those paintless dent removal companies and he came over yesterday to have a look. He wasn't phased at all and reckons I won't be able to see the dent once they've gone to work on it plus the scuff will buff out.

85 quid and he's doing it Monday

Good price. I hope it does come out looking really good.

Cheers!

Rich1068;
You have my full condolences. I would be out looking for "a pound of flesh" to pay for that damage. BTW - SUV's are not that common over there are they? That mark looks too high to have come from another car's bumper. And just a hunch here - you may want to check around for a white delivery van with your paint on his bumper. And have the shotgun handy.

Latest cheap mod alert!

http://cgi.ebay.at/S-Line-Blinddecke...QQcmdZViewItem

Ordered one on Friday with the aid of the AltaVista Babel Fish translator! Have a look where it says '++Video vom Einbau++' and you'll get the idea if your German is a little rusty.

PayPal just makes it too easy!

I like it!

My wife just shrugged and said that she didn't get it. That's the truth! LOL

I'd like to have one, we'll see.

Cheers!

Let's face it. If wives got this sort of thing then half of these forums would have no reason to exist

I'll let you know how I get on.

I have the double DIN radio so my blank switch is on the left and not the right. I wonder if they have the switch for the other side?

My buttons (left to right) are blank>>ESP Off>>Pass Airbag Off

In the picture he appears to be holding the correct button to replace the blank but in the video it's the opposite way around.

I've e.mailed him anyway just to confirm. I'll let you know what his English is like. Unless of course you're fluent in German?

Nicht sprechen sie Deutsch!

Thanks for checking into worthless mods that I just have to purchase! LOL I think it is a cool button, too bad it doesn't have a nitrous attachment to it as well. Or, maybe front mounted machine guns or an ejector seat? Hey, where's Q when you need him???

My button layout is the same as yours, so let me know.

Cheers!
