ME NOT HAPPY.
« on: 05 March 2004, 18:18 »
My car has been away for a week at the body shop having some paintwork re-done. Some silly little kn0b head hit the side of it in november last year, broke the mirror and put  a tiny scratch on thr rear quater. Anyway it all got repaired and i got it back just after christmas last year, however i found a few things that i was not happy with. Firstly there were some bits of dust and things in the paint a crack in the paint on the drivers door and the rear bumper had not been refitted properly add to this the overspray on the rear window/bootlid and the fact that the rear side window had not been removed when it was painted (this causes problems later on with rust and paint klaking off). So i took it back to the body shop and complained ( there were also some micro blisters appearing on the C pillar) The man in charge told me to book it in and they would re-paint the side. It finnaly went in last week with a list of jobs, I had not pointed out the bits of dust and other forieghn bodies yhat were stuck in the paint as i had been told that the side was going to be re-painted. :)

Anyway iv'e had it back today and the bits are still there, they have got rid of some of the problems but it turns out that they have not re-painted the side and they have not had the window out to paint behing the rubber.  >:(

However i did enjoy driving my baby home, Yes its an 8 valve but after a week in a one litre fiesta its fast as f**k :D >:( :(
