What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[Booth11]

I blame Simon (dubber36) who said I'd had my three bits of bad luck and that was my quota. Seems 4 is the new 3!

You just had to go one better Bec    .

I didn't want to Simon, I really didn't.

Got my quote from the bodyshop to fix the damage to my rear arch and polish alloy wheel. £402!!!  Looks like I won't be getting it fixed after all 

Gonna try a smart repair next.  Will also visit my local detailers to see if anything can be polished out.

Good luck Snooze, hope it can be smart repaired at much less cost.

Well that's something at least! Hope Friday goes well.

Cheers.

My Sparco wheel spacers arrived from Italy today, hopefully I'll fit them tomorrow if it's a dry day.
Very impressed with the build quality, beautifully machined, and they look gorgeous as well!
They come supplied with all fixings so shouldn't be too hard to fit.
I'll take some photos of them and post them up for anyone who is remotely interested

Just a word to the wise ref chips etc loads of bids out there showing how it's done I picked up a chip just on roofline about 2" above the screen took it to my local chips
away expecting a near invisible repair as I have done to my other cars in the past but seeing as this was only 2wk old I thought I'd get it done professionally... How wrong I was I dropped the car off was asked for service book for paint code all good I thought but upon picking the car back up all they did was line the bottom of the ding the hole was still there I could see and feel the shoulders of the ding..
Explanation it's the best we can do apart from having the whole roof resprayed...
Note to self and all you out there don't use chipsaway unless you've ad work done before.
I'm going to tackle mine hopefully this weekend if the weather holds up..

I won't use my local Chipsaway, after the assessed some repairs I needed to rear bumper of my mk6 GTI.  A couple crinkles in the plastic and some scuffs on lip of bumper.  Said it was a respray job (fair enough) but couldn't guatantee getting the crinkles out so probably just respray over them!!!

I took it to a local bodyshop who sorted crinkles out and resprayed. Perfect job and and £50 cheaper than Chipsaway!  Im

Well done Booth very good price too but yeah believe me il never use chipsaway again totally useless....

When I had my mk6 GTD, I got Chips Away for a quote to repair some minor damage on the leading edge of the front bumper at the bottom. They said they could paint it, but you'd still see the damage, which was no good to me; I wanted it perfect.

I went to a local firm in Norwich who undertake smart repairs, including plastic welding, which was required as part of the repair. They did an excellent job, the paint was a perfect colour match, and they charged less than Chips Away were going to charge for a half hearted attempt at a repair.

They look like a properly engineered kit, kalimon. Got a link to your supplier? What are you going to use for locking bolts?
