Wheel refurb
Toptrump:
Oh dear a great start to the new year.
Does anybody know a decent wheel refurbed near/in and around South Cheshire? Tuesday night a bus decided to repaint my rear offside quarter panel and rear bumper together with the rear wheel. Not really sure the Blue quite goes with my Silver. :( Gutted!
At least the rear parking sensor was working this morning. LOL!
JPC:
ouch, sorry to hear that matey!
evvo:
If its going through the Bus company insurance get a new wheel out of them mate
Toptrump:
Well I finally got a call back from the bus company who said that they had a bus with some paint missing and a few bits of Silver on it. Yes that will be the back of my car cheers! :)
That is good news as they gave me their insurance details and somebody to ring at their head office.
So been out to a body shop I have used in the past and got a quote of around £500 for the damage. Then nipped over to VW in Crewe to see if they would do me a quote. Can't help getting one from the dealer themselves. On the way I saw three R32's all looking lovely then there is a shiny Blue one 08 on the forecourt! (stop just making me jealous) Just not fair. :grin: And then the lady at the VW repair center tells me I can use their accident service which will give me a hire car and they always try and get a higher spec so for me a R32...are people trying to tell me something today or what? :smiley: Anyway their quote was around £900!
Not sure which one to fax over now, a week's worth of R32 fun as a hire care or hopefully not bother with insurance companies and get it done quick smart. Will have to think about it over the weekend.

What an absolute result them coughing to it!
I'd get it done at VW regardless, always looks better in the potential new owner's eyes seeing a dealer repair rather than some random bodyshop. Get what you can out of them too, as like it or not, your car is now devalued because it's had paint.
