lol join the club

Refurbishing will cost you about 40 quid so i wouldnt buy a new one unless you have loads of money! Ill be getting by front left done next week together with colour coding and grille fitted

 

[Dansta]

rob where you gettin it done?

 

[RobFenn]

My local bodyshop (V&G crashrepairs in sidcup/footscray), they dont do it themselves but they outsource someone else. Theyve got a good reputation, theres always very expensive cars being sorted there.

 

[Tom]

im not sure that they will be able to match the colour when referbing

does anyone kno how much a turini is from renault?

 

[DynamiqueDick]

ROb what grill you getting the K tec one???

I just got one of my rims refurbeb cost me £50 but it looks perfect as new!

 

[Dansta]

do they send your wheel off? i need my front left touched up too! specially if i wanna sell em!

 

[steve_rt]

rob are v+g color coding and doing the grill for you then?

i was thinking of askign them to remove the plastic side trim and smooth it out when they do the work on my damaged side, but not sure if i can afford it!

 

[RobFenn]

Yeah they will be doing those bits steve, and yes its the k-tec one DynamiqueDick. I think they do send it off Dan, im not sure though as i guess they could be mobile, ill ask them.

 

[Dansta]

cheers fella!

 

[Tom]

rob im also interested find out what you can mate and we can have a chat on sat

 

[RobFenn]

Will do, ill be getting a quote for colourcoding at the same time. Ill post back at lunchtime.

 

[Tom]

sweet

 

[RobFenn]

Ok ive been. The bloke i usually talk to wasnt there so it was a bit of a waste! As for the wheels they use two places, one in east peckham and one in darenth, so its a bit of a trip, not sure if i can be arsed with that so ill look in the yellow pages.

Couldnt get a quote for the sideskirts as the bloke had to get a SL55 AMG finished so ill go back 2moro!
