My New V6

Well that was not what I expected.

Ok so just collected the car after paint, firstly the car was not even washed, a right fucking mess tbh. Somewhere along the line when we where talking about the vents in the bumper, I said "leave the vents alone" he understood that as don't paint the corner sections of the bumper. £648 and not even a full bumper respray.

At this point I was slowing getting to blowing point as I would of given him a hiding for taking the piss.

However on the flip side, the work he has done is to a very high standard, he also used water based paint.

Now the pods are silver, I prefer them black. In think this is purely down to the fact the car is filthy and they are fighting against the black wheels. Once they are done this tues I'm sure it will look right.

This just reinforces why i hate traders, why dodge not question that i did not want a full bumper paint?????
 
Just ask him to do it again! lol! Bloody bodyshops!

Silver vents will look better when your wheels are done!
 
I did but he wants another £250 as the part he did needed a lot of work.

I just walked away, another sorry lesson learned tbh.

At least the paint he did do was good.

It's Ver frustrating as what he has done is the best paint I have had. Bitter sweet is the phrase....

Ant, looking good mate.

Just out of interest how much are the rear badges?

Pffft just under £100

Ouch!!!!!

I know!!

Also never remove the pods, absolute nightmare, bolts seized on vents, location brackets brittle and snap, complete utter balls ache. Usuall Renault cheap quality.
