Been ok. Cars been away since week last Friday for bodywork and not heard anything. Been loving the cooper d , cracking little car. I have bought a Simota Carbon intake after watching vids and trying to decide what intake to buy to release sone noise, and also a set of eibach arbs to compliment the springs, will be fitting poly bushes when I get that lot fitted.

once it arrives and i get it fitted ill try and get some vids up.

 

[yeecup]

So the Simota has arrived! Unfortunately I can't fit it as the car is still with bmw for warranty work on the bodywork, been 2 weeks they said should be ready Thursday/Friday.

 

[yeecup]

Update time. There is no update! 3 weeks and 1 day since I dropped the car off at BMW I still don't have it back, and they haven't called me with any updates either. im not impressed tbh. No idea what the hell they are doing to it, a full restoration perhaps. Still at least I have the courtesy car

Bloody hell that's a bit odd. Are they not contactable?

 

[yeecup]

I phoned them over a week ago, the guy in charge of warranty work for the approved body shop said it would probably be ready last Thursday or Friday. He also gave the impression that because it's warranty work its not high on their agenda.

They've probably painted it, not happy, painted it, not happy....

It happens!

 

[yeecup]

Lol. Oh well.

It will be high on the agenda given you have a courtesy car. I'd be down there asking questions mate!

 

[yeecup]

I'll chase them up tomorrow

 

[Danith]

Think they lost it pal, might as well sell me the billies and simota. 100 quid boxed off

Don't worry about that, just see how many miles you can put on the courtesy. Or if you can go through a full set of tyres in 2000 miles or something.

Don't drive around in it too much though or you'll become an estate agent or recruitment consultant and instinctively buy a ghey private reg for it

And take off the 116 badge too.

 

[Cookson]

Really want an induction for mine, but tempted to grab a spare airbox and drill the s**t out of it instead

 

[Danith]

I took the little caf pipe that on mine, no difference at all so back to normal

update finally got a call from the bodyshop, they shotblasted the rear arch and it was worse than they thought, so have had to go back to bmw and request the ok to replace the rear arch , and its going to be another couple of weeks before i can expect it back.

 

[Bluebeard]

Just the arch I hope and not the quarter panel??

 

[Danith]

All for free, such yesness

he said the rear arch, at least im not having to fork out for the bill myself as id imagine its going to be a hefty chunk of cash.

 

[yeecup]

Still no car. Will be 6 weeks this Monday. Rucking joke tbh

f**k me. We've done a bare shell repaint on a 1989 911 in the time your car has been away! Lol

What have they said??

 

[Danith]

This is getting daft now! I know it's free but I'd be kicking off now!

 

[Poopensharten]

Are you not chasing them up? I wouldn't be sitting about saying f**k all!

 

[Bluebeard]

And it will probably be back together by 1pm tomorrow! Lol

 

[Grier]

that's absolutely stunning!!

 

[Danith]

The want is strong with this one. How much does it go for?

 

[Grier]

i'm guessing if you have to ask......

 

[Mr R.]

Beautiful aren't they mate? [emoji2]

It's insured for £60k once it's complete. Currently insured for £40k.

The guy has just spent £16,000 having it painted and a few new trims.

 

[yeecup]

Spoke to them 2 weeks ago when they told about new wing, they said another 2 weeks then been 2 weeks. Arseholes

 

[yeecup]

So I phoned the body shop on Friday. Car will be finished this Wednesday. Approx 7 weeks and 2 days after I dropped it off. Hopefully all will be well.

 

[Danith]

It'll feel rapid after driving that gay mini too. Bonus

 

[yeecup]

Lol. Can't wait to fit the Simota and the eibachs too.

Did they say why it's taken them 7 weeks and 2 days?!

 

[Gally]

Wow!

We've also restored a 993 C4S in that time!

As long as it's right! What is their warranty like?
