wow, fair play that looks like you are getting some good treatment after the misfortune there.  from the photo progress looks like the end result should be good as new.  hope it all works out well for you :happy2:

Cheers guys!!

Well today is the day i get it back, hopefully!! Ill be spending a good while with the car before i sign anything to make sure im 100% happy with it. From the looks of the repairs on the pictures i doubt there will be anything wrong, but im not taking a chance.

I had the car delivered to me today, but it went back straight away!

Front bumper on both sides not aligned properly with wings, tailgate not aligned with roof or either rear light/wing.

As you can see from the pic below the rear screen has been bonded in to far. They have tried to compensate for this by bringing the boot lid out to get the correct gap but it looks a mess and isnt right!


You can see how far in the rear window is by the size of the lip on the boot under it!


The car is back at the bodyshop and will be sorted tomorrow hopefully! It did look great though! The paint work looked amazing! I think it could do with a good detail/wax/polish to get it looking its best!

Apart from the few littles problems I'm very happy with the job that's been done! :D

Whey hey !! Ive finallye got the car back in my possesion !!

It was delivered back to me at 3pm on thursday with all the defects rectified !! To say im happy with it is an understatement !! I then took the car for its mot at 3:15pm on thursday and it passed with flying colours. I then nipped and put 12 months tax on it !!

There was one problem that i found with it though. When i checked the vanity mirrors and lights neither worked. I was all for phoning them up and kicking off but i thought id have a quick look myself. It turned out that the led bulbs had been put back in the wrong way round. A quick and simple fix !!

I took it extremely careful on the way home as the car hasnt been run properly for around 2 months now !! Howevr as its been running for a couple of days i went out tonight for a quick blast, and OMFG !! I forgot how much i love this car !! Its absolutely immense !!

Ive not taken any pics yet as ive been doing diy all day so not had the opportunity !! Ill try and get some tomorrow though !!


Im so relieved to get it back !! But whilst i have been waiting to get it back ive been looking at mods. Milltek, intake, RNS-510 and coilovers are all on the wish list. Just need to save up a bit now !!


By the way, when you turn the ignition off but dont remove the key, do your interior lights come on straight away, when you remove the key or only once the doors open ?? As mine only come on once i open the door. Is this right ??

Good to hear you have got your pride and joy back and in tip top shape after the rebuild :happy2:

Regarding the interior lights, I'm pretty sure mine come on after I remove the key from the ignition.
