Look,Fordsportjay, What I have told you IS correct!! I don't care what all the others are saying,I have done enough re-shells in my time to KNOW what was acceptable!

Over a 2 year period,I re-shelled about 6 or 7 cars,all done in the same manner and 3 of those were called in for inspection......ALL of them passed this inspection and I was told categorically,by the 'Stolen Vehicle Squad' that this particular method was perfectly acceptable. ...... So who knows best,you lot or the specialist division of the Police ??
If your car was done years ago,then it is perfectly O.K.
