Sucks to hear man. You must be quite torn up about it.
But on a serious note, as long as the car is OK then it's all good

Swapped a wheel nut to try out the new set I bought.
Just worried that 17mm is too narrow however :s

Fitted majority of new wheel nuts.
have to find a socket bit to remove the key nuts which I no longer have.
Keep forgetting I need to replace the hubs as the studs were hack-sawed off from some previous owner.
Fkn Mitsu changing the rear hubs for facelift.

Put the replacement parcel shelf in, put the back seats back in.
Still going to rattle, but not as bad.
