Cubes Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Took some decent pics today after my insurance company checked out the car. The car had a slight ding in the front end which didn't damage the front bumper only the front head lights and the bonnet lip that wraps around. This was covered under insurance, I received a call from the paint shop not only a few minutes ago asking me to bring the car in to be fixed up. Pics to follow.... All the pics posted + more are located here.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/44166-pics-from-recent-paint-job/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dairyboy Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 You in NSW by any chance? Couple of ways to clean those cvnts up - MVRIC (I think it's MVRIA now..) http://www.mvria.nsw.gov.au/ have a cry there. The good old Dept of Fair Trading is always at your service (albeit slowly..) or possibly get a cleaner to fire them a cleaner's letter lol. If they're in NSW usually when MVRIC contacts them they have brown undies instantly.

Steve Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 OMFG that is unbelieveable. Good to hear the insurance company is looking after you - who are you through? mine is up for renewal.

dairyboy Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 ok..I've just read it again - if it's an insurance job go complain to the assessor that assessed your car's damaged. Throw some abuse at them too if you like and they'll probably be work for you to get it fixed up ASAP.

Merli Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Please name the paintshop that did this work, and delete all personal comments from your post. That way it's not defamation, and SAU cannot get in trouble. That's some top notch work!

Jay95R33 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Wow !! Orange peel, runs, crows feet..... I think their 2nd year apprentice got it all wrong on your car. That's not good, I hope you get it all sorted out. You probably have done this, but tell the insurance company and they will deal with it.
