Ive got a spoiler already mate, im getting the bootlid its on fixed and smoothed

Went to the scrappys today, found a posi blue one that had a decent front bumper i could spray and use. Asked the bloke how much, he says 'can you take it off?' i said sure, piece of piss, so he goes 'well then get it off and any other parts you want, ill make sure you get a decent price on it.

So there i am ripping this front bumper off, took the fan housing and lights off too but left the lights in the car, then went back for a price. Different bloke comes out and goes
'£40 for the both mate, and £80 if you chuck the lights in'
'fuck that mate, i already need to sand out the scuffs in this, get it resprayed and fit the lot of it to mine'
'well the bumpers are normally £40 alone'
'and ive just spent the last half hour ripping this shit off there for you'
'£40 mate, youve took it off now'
'well you can keep it for that, ill give you £60 with the lights, or you can go put it all back yourself'
'fine'

Fuck him, irish cunt, the bumper would have needed filling and reshaping for the scuff it had in it, and you can pick them up for £20 off here anyway, and i know a few scrappys down south that i'd probably pick one up for free if i can get down there.

Walked out, mum just goes 'no good? so we've wasted our time?'
i get in the car and just go 'nah, pockets aint empty cuz' (she didnt get the quote)

So for half an hour and an argument in a scrappys, i got all the screws and bolts i need to fit another one back on, a saxo owners manual, and a fuse box cover for the inside that i've needed for a while... not so bad then :L

Oh, went into the one further down, guy in there seamed a decent enough bloke, wanted £50 for a decent bumper, fan and rad if i found one, but they only had a silver vtr that was the OTHER silver, so the fan was no good, the rad may have been alright but i didnt bother, and i figured the bumper would look out of place... can always go back though
