Gutted for you mate but at least it will be sorted. Dealer bodyshops are never as good as a quality independant bodyshop for sure

wow

bad news buddy, i got a sticker that will cover that.....

could have been a lot worse buddy the garage could have taken the i dont care approach and you would have spent weeks chasing it up so good job they are good guys.

are they letting you pick where to get the work done? cause that would be good too

will you still use them in the future??? thsts the question

How big is the sticker??? :)

They recommended the body shop I spoke with today but there is another one that's not far from me that have a good reputation so I'll nip there tomorrow to see what they say.

Sorry but wouldn't come down without my Evo, I would want to show it off.:sad:

Well atleast the car is still driveable so I should be able to fit the new brakes before it goes to the body shop.

New stereo has made a huge difference. The sound was crap in the car before and I was gonna change the speakers aswell but don't need to now. Standard speakers sound really good with better stereo!!! Which I was suprised at.:)

Take it to a bodyshop with good reputation for sure. Mine only goes to Kinghorn bodyshop up here. One of only 15 bodyshops in the country with a certificate of excellence from Porsche with state of the art jigs, alignment equipement, ovens, etc, etc. It's a family business and hands down the best bodyshop around these parts, if not one of the best in the country.

They are not too far from Polished Bliss, I think Geoff would shoot his load if he went there, all the car cleaning stuff! lol
