Re-styling

In two weeks both bumpers, rear and front, got scrapped.
The rear one seems to be of easy fixing, some polish and it probably be as good as before, the one in the front... well, that one cracked the licence plate, which most certainly will have to be replaced prior to the annual vehicle inspection due in a couple of months.
At this pace, sometime in the summer, I'll get to work driving a Smart fortwo sized Toyota Corolla.

The chain tensioner o-ring

The engine started leaking a very small amount of oil, after some googling, I came to know that the responsible was the chain tensioner o-ring (it also seems that this is a common issue). 
Got to the dealer to buy a new one and get it replaced in the next service, even found a YouTube video featuring the chain tensioner o-ring replacement, so that shouldn't be to hard.
