Default Bonnet damaged by courier!!!

I bought a MINT bonnet and look what happened to it!!!









I'm pissed off no end... its worth nothing now... i know i can get it repaired but it'll be cheaper to just get another one!!!

And yes a claim has been made but good cossie parts are hard enough to find already without mindless jerks doing this sort of thing!!!

Rant Over

It was with Citylink...

It could only have been better packaged if it was in a crate... it had loads of extra padding on the corners and had 'fragile' and 'handle with care' tape all around it!!! Malicious i reckon...

Had a bootlid as well in the same delivery and that's perfect thank god!!!

GINGExR2 T Wanted a white one really but whereabouts are you?

davemark Packaged as it was meant that a single person can move it around, and surely all the 'fragile' tape wrapped round it says that extra care must be taken?!

Exact same thing happened to me mate, but with parcelforce

I had to pay my mate who works in a body shop to sort it out and repaint it

He done a great job though

Ryan 3 Yes it can be fixed but will probably be cheaper to get another 2nd hand one...

Charlie Can you ask your mate how much to do mine?

When he done mine he was doing my rear arch, mirrors etc as well just bits that were stone chipped

The bonnet was lready on the car so he didn't realise how bad it was before he took it on then when I picked it up he was like "That bloody bonnet was a PIG "

I've since fallen out with him too as some work he done as James's car wasn't upto the standard expected to be honest
