good that she's back, as good as new. And nothing like a DIY, with expert guidance like that

Btw, arent the last 3 pics above pretty much the same ? For that matter, even the first two - just been shot from a different distance.

as most of you think getting a replacement under warranty will be tough, can i use the tire with bulge as a spare? will it be safe if used sparingly?

Sumit: Glad that the car is back to its orignal self!!

Instead of taking the whole bumper out, isnt it better to install the new horn in some other location?

jaspreet we can put the horn somewhere else but its real congested inside the engine compartment. finding a proper place to put them will be hard. and then i dint want to cut the original wiring to install the horn.
and also i am going to BK tire tomorrow lets see what he says. will see you soon now!!

Hi white_vdi,

Sad to hear about your car. We all learn our lessons the hard way, don't we? Myself included

Good to know that it has been restored to its original form.

On a personal note, I am wary of giving my car to anyone including my dad's driver. I never give it to the valet guys for parking and not even to my company drivers when they want to move the car from the parking lot.

Cheers,

gpa
