i feel infuriated that you, someone who has done nothing

has got to pay out, of your own pocket to fix such a mess created by some weedy COWARDLY tosser...

makes you feel sick to be human, that some bastard could have done this.

and its not going to cost £10 either, it aint no cheap touch up job. its a full respray which is expensive... all brought on by dispicable behaviour...

its nothing but an outrage

i still, just cant believe it

Sorry to hear of you bad luck.

Exactly, I worked for a company with Audi, VW and Lexus dealerships and if a New car came in damaged off the transporter - it's technically supposed to go to their 'approved' manufacturers/dealership body shop for warranty purposes.

I know they sent them to a little backwater, as they were better in every respect than their own bodyshop!

I take my s2 there for anything bodywise now - but they are in Cheshire and aren't the cheapest around

fucking shocking!!

thats a frenzied attack, somebody must have seen it happening.

I'd be going mental

I'd be thinking it was a middle aged person myself rather than a kid, because it's all stripped out. When i had my fiesta stripped out all i used to get was attitude from oldies.

not that it helps.

Kinda right...

SMART repairs are
Small To Medium Area (or Automotive) Repair Techniques

Chipsaway (a franchise based network) carry out SMART repairs as do people like myself, its usually a mobile service and generally around 70% cheaper than a bodyshop... BUT there are limitations and less than ideal scenarios

It is been in th UK now for about 9 years, becoming more and more popular/ known about as time goes on, lol, that also means more and more peeps are starting to do it

SMART repairs are generally reffered to as cosmetic repairs, and common ares for repair would be;

Bumper Scuffs (Textured plastic or colour-coded)
Stone Chips
Alloy Wheels
Leather Repairs
Velour Repairs
Dashboard Repairs
Walnut Trim Repairs
Windscreen Repairs
Sometimes Local Paint Repairs
and Small dents which havent damaged the paintwork

repairs to painted areas do actually involve spraying ie a basecoat and clear

Obviously as a smaller gun and compressor are used also considering work is carried out generally outside, painting large areas is nigh on impossible/pointless....

I did feel physically sick when I discovered it but now I've pretty much exhausted all avenues of catching anyone I'm just accepted I'll have to get it fixed and move on. Onwards and upward and all that.......there was a few marks on it here and there so I'll just push for a full spray so it ends up being better than when it started

what do you mean ? Cos your car was stripped out inside then OAPs would come along and be disgusted and start scratching it ?
