Haha. Yeah it does feel like that but they get it right in the end lol. Just take plenty of pics before it goes in as they said the scratches were already there on my lights until I showed him the pics  :signLOL:

Don't worry i will do, had trouble at another dealer with damage caused to my car.. took a while but they did pay out in the end.

I'll also make sure they do a very detailed vehicle health check haha.. They seem eally nice though so fingers crossed they take care of it!

Dropped it off today, I stuck a sign on the windscreen and rear window saying "DO NOT CLEAN ME, Thanks :)" and verbally told them too. I saw the "car cleaner" guy do his thing today on a white Polo, it almost stained the thing brown  :signLOL:

I'm feeling pretty confident I'll get it back without problems, we went round the vehicle doing an extremely detailed check and he fully appreciated how well I care for the car, so hopefully tomorrow afternoon will be happy days  :laugh:

I can't believe my luck.. more rust!  :sad1:


Went back to the body shop straight away, the claim won't be as fast paced this time. They explained that unlike the wings, they need it authorised before they can start work, so paint measurements were made and photos were taken which will all be sent off. They said the next step will be an attempt to repair, but once stripped down if it's really bad, they will then replace it.

Pretty annoying but confident it will get sorted  :smiley:
