having had my drivers door totalled and the rear door pranged and the rear arch scraped/scuffed to bare metal and a scrap eon the bumper and the side skirt rubbed down to black again (women side swiped me) as she says it was my fault was gonna get th eparts for say £250 and do it myself, instead i opted to pay my £500 excess and get ti done properly.

they have had it now for 8 working days,stil not got it back,i reckon they started it thursday just gone not the monday i dropped it off,but if its taking them this long, imagaine how long id take !!!

 

yeh it would have took couple ov days and you'd be in it now

 

I am having my STI 8 bonnect scoop sprayed too tho

damage before,light doesnt show true damage,the bird on th ephone when i booked it in said the parts were £800 without labour charge, 1 new door i know for sure !

 

I agree - you would be driving it about now - AND be richer!!

Just because they are milking it and farting about doesn't mean diddly squat

Looks nasty mind ........

 

oh i know, i phone dyesterday, he said monday or tuesday this week,i`ll phone again tomorrow PM to see whats what.
i dont envy them tho,my alarm system was a nightmare in the door LOL !!!

 

well, if i get half my excess back i wont have lost anything as parts would o fbeen £250,which is what it wil cost me in th eend and i havent lost any time on it, and i know the paint colour is fresh and "SHOULD" match,iv had a few white parts from same yr a totally different shade of white

 

and we all no its not gonna be a new door don't we

 

i dont think there the garage to hang onto a car, they are so busy and overcrowded they could do with the space, i reckon the guys have been using it as a pool car !! :-)
i reckon its been a pig of a job !

 

Christ,stil dont have it back, on the phone last monday, it`ll be ready tuesday,wednesday comes, be friday now, i phone today, 1 hr,going thru Q & A, 3pm no call,get missus to go round there to see it as im 50 miles away,she surprised them as she just walked into the workshop,fair play and there it was, masked up, the door rubbers hanging off, roof lining undone WTF

As soon as the reception guy hears her say im here to look at my blokes SCOOB, his head shoots up and he looks like he`s been caught fiddling his sister she said.

i phone them, the women he was hiding behind says hes busy, 30 mins later, same thing, 1 hr later same thing so i say i just drove by and saw him sat there,um, err, yes,er, i say i`l hold,5 seconds later he`s on the phone, i fire some ****** into him, he says it failed qand a, *****, its not been in, the guys doing it say it wont be ready for 2 more days or so, god knows what there doing, waiting for roof lining clips or some crap !!

its not the time delay its the lies ive been told, he apologises,says he didnt lie, he was misinformed etc etc bla blah.

not chuffed,it beter be a good job !!!

 

i'd check your mileage when you get it back, someone might have been running around in it

your car does seem to have taken a long time, just recently i put my car in for some repair work and a full respray. it went in on a Monday lunchtime and was finished by the Thursday. the garage had to wait for a poseur panel to arrive but i got the car on the Friday. not bad going

 

LOL,yeah, ive took a note of my mileage and did drop it off with hardly any fuel in it,if i have more fuel in it i`ll be sorting people out !!

problem with my car is, its a manual speedo, so all they have to do i sremove the cable from the speedo or gearbox and no mileage recorded sob sob, hopefully they wont know that LOL

 

How much is a full respray?? You can always tell in certain light if only one panel is done!

 

Picked it up tonight, all cool and looks good.
now to fit my STI 8 Scoop

sweet

 

i gather all was ok then

£2,500. the car looks great even if i wash it and leave it wet

when it got keyed a few weeks ago i can see all the layers of paint
