The first guy has lost his business i am led to believe since this incident and the second body shop  is local to me and not worth the hassle of naming them.  :smiley:

Jesus....just caught up with this thread...

Sorry to hear about your troubles Tom. I just can't comprehend how some businesses/individuals justify things such as you have mentioned as being acceptable.

Thought i needed to update my car thread, 4 little mods added while i wait for the rimmage.  :party: :party: :party:

First off ickle Mazda Ariel



then as posted in another thread got the carbon vinyl mask and badge to try out, and its growing on me more and more.  :smiley:
Also got myself a proper red badge for the front to finish off this area.









And finally had a little eureka moment with this idea, wanted to be able to show the front end off without the plate. Mainly at all the shows and for photos.
Had this mod on the car for over a week now and a good few hundred miles, and it has stayed put so i am confident it wont fly off. it has also been speed tested  :evilgrin:
Also the magnets are that powerful you dont even need to line it up, it pulls out of your hand into the perfect spot.  :happy2:

Also i know peeps are going to say it is easily stolen, but if some one wants to pinch it, then it only takes 15 seconds to take off with a little posi-drive.  :smiley:
