For a while now, myself and Matt had been looking into getting some new bits for the cars. One in particular being the new JCW side scuttles. We’d been enquiring about them a lot, trying to find out when they were due to be released for sale. Last weekend, we had to take my car to the dealer to get the passenger side wheel arch trim fixed as the clips holding it to the car had broken. While we were there, we went to visit the guys in the sales department. We asked again about the side scuttles and finally got the answer we were after - they were finally on sale! We asked for 2 sets, one for me and one for Matt. Matt decided to buy mine for me as an early birthday present, as he doesn’t know what else to get me! She gave us a price which seemed far to high but we went ahead and ordered them. She called the parts department and ordered 4 lots which I didn’t quite understand, so questioned her about it when she got off the phone. She explained it so it seemed it was only 2 sets she had ordered. Still thought £240 odd was a bit too much for 2 sets but never mind.

A few days later, Matt received a call from the dealer saying they were ready to be collected! He went to pick them up and got his fitted while he was there. Like I though, the woman who placed our order had ordered 4 sets and not 2!! Matt took them away with him anyway and thought maybe we could pass them on to friends who might be interested, but no joy! So the 2 spare sets are going back to the dealership and Matt will get a refund.

Anyway, onto the point of me starting this blog entry (think I ramble far too much ). Last night I met up with Matt for Valentines day. We had a table booked for 7 so we had no time to sort out my new parts before dinner. After the lovely meal, and being very stuffed from it all, we drove to a dimly lit Sainsburys carpark so Matt could fit my JCW stuff to the car. It took longer than we thought as taking the indicator bulb off was quite tricky. All worked out though! Have to say, they look far better than the crappy plastic ones that were there before!
