[MuZiZZle]

So they're dropping it off any time now

I'm thinking something mediocre like a 320d

[tobomoto]

Surely you would know what car youve hired?

[Jazz]

So the thread title should read courtesy car as opposed to hire car ;)

some 90 year old bender drove into my BM

[dforder]

Nissan Micra

[MuZiZZle]

He asked "do you use the car to maintain an image" I said no, so he said I'd get an astra, I said "I'm not driving an astra" so he ticked the "uses the car to maintain an image" box?

I bet it's an Insignia or something *shudder*

we've been through this

unlike you I've had sex, at least twice, resulting in offspring

[MiniGibbo]

Lower to the ground so easier for kids to get in..

fucking hell brains.

[knight-22]

Too right he got lucky.

When someone wrote my last car off, I got given a 1.4 Peugeot 207.

Wouldnt have been bad for a couple weeks. But I ended up having it for 2 and a half months. :wall:

[stupotvtr]

Not bad tbh!
I got my top of the range 2.0 petrol clio sport replaced with a "like for like car"

Mini copper D 1.6 :(
Said due to my age they couldn't insure me on something as sporty as I owned...

[LeeM]

Who's hired it you?

[Yamaha318]

Needs lowering.

Typical. :zainy:

[MuZiZZle]

Well I had it 9 dull days

It was picked up Friday morning, my car dropped off close of play Friday.

The second it was off I could see a massive fuck up in the clear coat between the headlight and the wing, and on closer inspection the edges of the wing looked like orange peel
I think my exact words were "well that's fucking shit, how the fuck did it leave the workshop like that"

It's getting picked up again on wednesday

FML!

Ouch! Bet that's pissed you off.
Similar thing happened to my uncles car, they brought it back on a trailer after replacing the bumper. They killed the battery so it wouldn't start, wouldn't even charge and they also snapped the handbrake cable!

[Tc24]

Think yourself lucky - one of my friends has been rollin' a poverty spec C1 for the last month because the bodyshop and their monkeys can't get the hang of repairing/respraying his car without making it look like a giant black orange :homme:

[MuZiZZle]

Fucks sake

Just been out with the slr to take pics of the BM

It looks like the rear has been rolled into, there's scratches all over the entire car and the rear bumper has an inch tall mark about the entire width of it, looks like its flexed as the strip is a lighter shade of blue


Grrrrrr

[MuZiZZle]

I'm sure I'm not being an arkward customer here, pics:

And this one was hard to photo, the grey bit at the bottom is the rear diffuser, there's a 1 inch band that's a different shade of blue/all scratches accross the rear bumper!:

someone let stevie wonder loose on the spray

[craig180]

I had a similar issue when ShabnamMahmoodMotherfucker drove into the back of me and the insurers painted the Saxo grey rather than black. They also fucked up by covering it with tarp in the wind with soft paint, damaging my door pull and overspray on the alloys!

Needless to say it went back. More than once. Then I eventually got cloud to sort out their mess

[stupotvtr]

Seeing things like this always makes me wonder if you get a cheap half decent spray job then a proper paint correction done by a good detailer will it work out cheaper than a really good spray job
