now if he had a blue car.........

luckly the bodyshop do work for all our cars (keeping the bodyshop annonimious for now) and we are all on first name bases with teh staff. No reciept but its common knollage that they fixed the car after the accident.

no offence feilder but if they work on "all our cars" and you know them "all on first name basis" i'd be straight round there to have a strop at them!! that is bang out of order and especially if you lot are common customers. remind them that you know alot of people and this could easily damage their reputation as i'm 99% sure you will have posted this question on other forums.

Cheers to everybody who replied. Basically i had a bit of a moan about it. They mostly blamed the coilovers and said they wouldnt usally mind but they witnessed me wrangle the car around the track on two occassions now so there not suprised its so battered.

There fixing it on saturday for me. They always give me dirt low prices anyway as ive braught them a fair bit of business but hopfully they get it all straightned out so i can drive again. im currently not driving the car incase i get rear ended. Having another car written off is the last thing i need. Especially as i live in that car 3 nights a week at the moment

I had exactly the same thing happen with my back bumper after getting the car back from the body shop. Looked to me like it had been stuck on with silicone! I just drove the car back to them and told them to sort it and do it properly this time! Didnt even give them a chance to argue. A good bodyshop is very hard to find! im still looking.

I had a similar issue with my rear bumper - the bumper cover fell off on the way home from work one day, but the actually bumper stayed on. (This happened about 2 weeks after I bought the car!)
The scary thing is I didn't even notice it went until I next looked at the back off the car!!

Took it to the bodyshop today who used fiberglass and two hand made brackets to bold the bumper in two places and fiberglass it in another 4. Took them two hours and i walked away with a free breakfast for me and the misses and the work done free of charge. Couldnt be happier with that result

Nice one mate although they had no other choice but to rectify the problem
