hi mate

why the hell were the sills scratched?!

was the owner aware these were being painted before collection? i would not want any touch ups on a new car however well they were done

do you know anything about the next FRS's to come to your dealership? My friend is waiting for a green one coming in...

yeh he knew they were getting painted. But sadly if it wasnt for not having the paint code we had to leave it.

And im not clued up on the sales side of things atal as im in the bodyshop and we are seperate from the main dealers building. I saw another green one arrive today but i think it was a replacement for the owner of the one that got broken in to.

forgot to say that the sills must have been scratched coming off the transporter, as there was a chunk out the paint where the skirts wrap around inside the arch...perhaps from the ratchet straps maybe.

and it wouldnt have been a touch up as it would have looked wrong being a pearl colour. just painting the whole skirt

As i said im not sure lol i just worry about doing my job then getting home lol ill keep an ear open for you though. We have a blue one in the show room if he wants that

Cheers for all the info mate.

Surely the other green one cant be a replacement. No way they could get one so soon! I wonder if it's my mates one?

Is the blue for sale then?

i dont think the blue one is for sale. on my way home driving through aviemore i saw the blue one shoot up my hole so im guessing its been bought as we are the only ford dealer as close to aviemore as inverness is.

apart from grants of aviemore but they never have anything good in there lol

Thing is as soon as I saw the picture I thought exactly the same! Btw, you don't need a jack to remove wheels!!

Did they put it straight back in the Ford Dealership Workshop as I guess the mechanic wouldn't want his jack leaving at the scene of the crime?
