bad luck

[mallboy]

ive just had a bad 2 weeks. my car finally past its mot but the mot guy cracked my front bumper, he also broke the clips for the front plastic arch too!! so today i was on the way to shitroen and guess what happened, my arch cracked in half and flew off - so now i have to buy an arch and respray my front bumper!!

get the garage to pay for it


800 btw

[mallboy]

he parked it outside the garage and said someone smashed into it, it was defo the ramp as my front bumper lifted up but he keeps denying it, hes a family freind so couldnt even slap him, just pi**ed off now coz i have to look for an arch now!!!

[Matt_e]

surely if its in his care, he must have some sort of insurance to cover him

i dont know, it was parked on the road so wasnt in his garage so he will get away with it. i still have to buy an arch coz the car looks bodged now the arch is cracked!!!

Unlucky, but him being a family friend you would have thought he'd help get it sorted.

[DavidKent]

Unlucky mate...
Would like to think he'd have the decency to help you out with it a bit though.
Gotta laugh when bits fall off the car though, not funny at the time, but looking back on when my sideskirt came off you gotta laugh! lol

If it was in the garage's care, they're liable. No ifs or buts...

[bullit]

as said he put it on road, its in there care,

Wait till he gets another saxo in and nick the arch of that when its in his compound......

good idea, mite try it.lol

[DavidKent]

Yeah should be his fault - Its in his care, regardless as to whether he hit the ramp, hit it in the yard, or hit it off the yard, he still had it damaged in his care.
If he knows someone hit it in the yard, why didn't he try and do something about it?

he would have had insurance they just wond admit they do because they are told not to

thats exactly wot i thought, i needed to respray my bumper but im really pissd off about the arch trim, oh well more money to spend on the car!!!

[DavidKent]

Yeah its a right pain - I'm in the same boat.
Can't have anything without someone trying to wreck it!

[bullit]

so you gonna challenge him about it?

[mallboy]

im gonna defo make him fix my bumper but i will have to sort the arch out myself as that didnt snap in his garage, still his fault tho but sod law innit!

Sounds like a sign to change the front bumper to me :p

lol, everyones telling me to change it so guess wot? - im changing it to the standard one but just trying to adapt my intercooler to it and hopefully looking for a nice splitter. maybe a gran tourismo one?

[MarkyG]

get the sod to pay for it, so what if he is a family friend, he broke it, he pays for it. my arch got snapped off by some chav in maldon, citroen wanted £145 + VAT for a new one, breakers charged me £5! bonus!

[bbewekim]

Christ thats annoying, should really complain and make him pay for it, but sods law i guess :(. Makes me feel happy that when i got my exhaust fitted yesterday the guys made me bring it into the garage and chuck it on the ramps.
