Fair play to you but as you clearly say I know nothing....

Off to play with my balls.

Body shops are scam artists pure and simple theres very few these days that do what thay say thay will do and what you pay them to do, at the startish of the year I had the wheels done on my is200 and the rubbed the whole wheel down on all four wheels and only repainted the faces then marked fucked out of the wheels and taking the paint off in a number of places when refitting the tyres, iIn the case of my local body shop thay really was scam artists as 50 people including everyone would worked at the body shop was arrested for crash for cash scams and the company's still in business while there on bail!!!
