Hi everyone, my name is Mat and I'm the proud owner of a Silver 2003 sp20 protege. Only owned it since about Easter and it's already had an interesting history! Had it 6 days before someone managed to crash into it while parked out front of my place. Best part is, he managed to hit it from the footpath...


Anyway, the car has been back a couple months now. Fantastic car, at the moment the she's stock, but that will change. Already have clear side indicators on the way and I'm sure a few other things will follow.

Welcome & sorry to hear of the unfortunate bingle. I once had my car parked on the grass strip off road & neighbours 'friend' came screaming out of driveway directly across from my car & hit the quarter......I was really impressed. Especially since he starkered off & never seen again

Need pics man!

Ouch! I'm impressed they fixed it and didn't write it off.

Thanks!

It must have been very close to a write off. Didn't really matter in the end, I would have bought another sp20 with the payout.

Shot without a car attempting to park inside it. And what a surprise, it's raining.
