little num Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I did exactly the same on my old red supra, problem was i fitted those aero catches and forgot to lock them down. Mine took the screen - bonnet hinge's - roof and obviously bonnet and uk scoop. Cost me £500 to get it all back fixed up and then 3 weeks later i rolled it 6 times down the M42 motorway. Dont let it get you down buddy, soon as your without the supra you will want it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJUDGE Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 thats happened to me when I had my alpha gta on the motorway. Ins replaced the windscreen, I bought a used bonnet but the roof basically meant my car was a right off. I decided to install a sun roof. Worth doing!
