Now that all is said and done and I have my car back looking so nice  
I can admit a couple of things.

1. I was looking forward to a new tail light lens on the left hand  
side to match the right one that was replaced in the last crunch.

2. I got myself a shiny new bumper  :-)  It looks and feels like a  
quality item - it was sourced by my MG mechanic.  Lovely.

3. I got rid of a really, really annoying little "dimple" in the  
middle of my bootlid that came from slamming it down on something  
packed a little high (no-one could notice that little bump until I  
pointed it out to them but it would attract my attention every  
time... so annoying).  That was the first thing I really noticed when  
I first walked into the shop... no bloody little bump in the  
bootlid... yay!

I guess it is only right that you get some little bonus for putting  
up with the inconvenience and pain of someone else's stupidity!
