Is that link where it actually takes you? You can spoof the URL.
For example, http://www.cliosport.net
Click that ^^
Or does the email just say that URL?
It's easy to email spoof. It's the website it's taking you to that you need to check. More than likely a phishing page hosted on the back of a stolen server.
It is mental. I thought shops/bodywork people would just be able to repair the area, not have to do the whole bumper. Even if it isn't 100% perfect, you know?
£420 was ChipsAway! Managed to get it down to £330 inc. vat!
They've all said;
'Silver is the hardest colour. It'll look out of place so we may need to blend the bumper etc etc which will cost more'
Mental! Has all the work been done now?
Lowest quote to have the whole bonnet resprayed (as all companies are saying that's what will have to happen) is £420 + VAT!
Jesus! That's a whole loada dollar! I've got a list as long as my arm of mechanical repairs needing doing already.. went to put some screenwash in this morning and noticed that little gem!
What would you recommend then mate? Reckon a company like ChipsAway could do something like this? Either that or buy a bonnet off someone breaking a Nimbus 197?
Went to put some screenwash in the car this morning and noticed this chip.
It's a little bit smaller than a 5 pence piece I'd say.
Would someone like ChipsAway or whatever they're called be able to repair this?
Needing it done ASAP before it all flakes away!
That's fair enough mate. Each to their own after all.
I saw a little Clio billabong (1.2) the other day.. had absolutely nothing done to it whatsoever barring the 2.0 door bullets.. :l
Wasn't sure if it was deliberate or they'd gone down a breakers yard because their door strips got stolen.. Haha.
Early 2007 models mate, all a bit hit and miss. Some people had problems, some didn't. Mine is 2007 and it's solid.
The bad points to a 197;
Gearboxes
Flexis
Bumper off to change a headlight bulb
Can't swing a tampon in the engine bay
