Cars still at he bodyshop.

Said they had to break the offside steering knuckle to do a geometry check as the camber was out?, so now waiting for a new one to arrive. Really getting bored of the courtesy car now. The novelty of it being a drop top as long worn off  :sad1:

unless it was bent maybe and thats what they meant. I dont question these guys too much, as long as they get it fixed and do a good job im happy.

I think alot of indies do a much better job than VAG groups own garages tbh.

Update

Engine cover worked its way loose and I have got a partially broken fuel pump. The sensor is nearly snapped in half but the wires are still connected.






Still waiting on the DP, blueflame say it should be done on the 15th. Also want a ITG intake asap as the engine cover is such a flawed design. And thats about it, car is in the bodyshop, front bumper getting full respray amongst some other less interesting things
