[MattT]

^^ Risky lol

 

[Laura]

as i sed i no the guy hes not goin to rip me off, plus its not worth his reputation to piss any one off as hes just starting out

 

[Middo]

Matt- for a smoothed front bumper my bodyshop quoted me 600 (i paid a lot less than this due to a bulk buy discount) lol

 

[MattT]

^^ Big mulla then.
Carbon method it is then

 

[-KarL-]

sounds good hoping to get my 172 bumper fitted after i got my coils on

 

[zippyy]

I had some work done there and they did a good job apart from the bonnet that seems to have gone very orange peely. They was very cheap

 

[Laura]

had work done where?

 

[zippyy]

had work done where?

Bosley Motor Bodies.

 

[Laura]

no way did u, i no ste lol

tbh so far im not inpressed,
organised to drop the car off tues eve, rang up he wasnt there and had gone home so he picked it up wed evening,

i have been told that my car has been seen ragged around macclesfield.

i was told i would get a call today to say when my car would be ready and a rough price... not heard anything yet

i just hope the quality of the work is good enough to over shadow these

 

[MattT]

Doesn't sound good.
I thought you knew the guy and he wanted to build a good rep?

 

[Laura]

so did i lol, we will jsut have to see, im goin to give him a ring 2 mo, then he has had the car 3 days

 

[zippyy]

dont expect it to be clean when you pick it up. mine was left with dust all over the interior.
most of mine looks ok apart from the bonnet

 

[Laura]

it was filthy when it went in, no fuel in it etc, im just nervous

 

[Middo]

^ just dont except it if theres anything wrong, although i doubt you will as you sound like youve got your head screwed on. Also if theres anything you arent happy with refuse to pay the full price. They normally give in

 

[Laura]

panic over, he rang me last nite , hes just awaiting some parts to do the plastic weld, should be ready tues or wed next week
