Ha ha ha! Someone agrees with me, at last!
Its not about kerbing my standard alloys? I cover quite a few miles and the car looks pants all winter, so having steels on makes no difference to me.
The car is maintained regardless of cost, despite appearances. This is just a practical solution!
Ha ha I quite like the steels, they do the job perfectly. I am going to invest in a set of 15" alloys anyway, it rides - much better. So ultimately they will have the winters on.
An interim service and thorough check-over by Mick at Diamond Motors, plus a set of cheap steels (cheers Nick172Cup) and 4 195/50/15 Hancook W310 I*cept Evo tires and she is all set! In cold and wet conditions the difference between these tires and my summer pirellis is staggering - if you enjoy...
I have sportlines, they give a nice drop and there is very little body roll on the roads. However! the ride is definitely firmer and more crashy than standard. But they are ALOT cheaper than Renaultsport springs!!
Firstly you need to pay for the work that has been completed, but make sure that on the invoice/bill/letter/any other paper work that you state 'paid under protest'.
Ask what they plan to do about the damage (can you prove it was them?).
If they refuse, (and you can PROVE it was their fault)...
They only way to get it off completely safely is to melt it slowly with the warmth of a kitten (insert any small baby mammal - if a kitten isn't readily available)
It takes a while but you won't have any scratches!
