You sorted the alternator bracket yet?


Ouch at least mine didnt rip the whole bumper in half i got away lightly there.

I should have an alternator bracket turning up tomorrow so will fit it strait away, then should be able to drive the car again.

Its nice to hear a few people have run or are running without the bar, i think i will fit a new one but im happy to drive it for 3 weeks without one now.
