Well went to pick the Z up after its TLC (Total Lack of Care) and what a F-----G mess. Scratches on rear bumper that were not there before a blob of paint not rubbed down and Machine Polishing marks all over the body work. Not a happy bunny. Told them they have the week to sort it or i take it somewhere that will at their expense

If they have already knackered the job up already there would be no way I would leave it with them to put it right,
Were they Pro Detailers or mop it in an hours type boys?

If they have done a bad job they could really damage the paint if they go at it again. Tell them your'e not happy and you are taking it to get fixed at a proper Detailers and you will be billing them..
 
Water pump, thermostat, all the pulleys as one is occasionally rattling, belts, tools for the viscosity fan, fan, cruise control module, cruise control gizmo, cruise control stalk and some eye brows just need to get some G94 antifreeze when I get home next Friday.

I hope you get a more than satisfactory resolution I would be thinking twice to let them correct there lack of craftsmanship on the damage done alone.
 
Had it done at car cosmetics derby. They did my sons car a couple of years ago and did an excellent job. They also have really good reviews on facebook and twitter. I have told them i want the owner present when i go up next week. Thing being you do have to give them the chance to rectify issues or they can end up taking you to court for not paying. This way i am in no way in the wrong if its not right and i refuse to pay.
 
Sad to hear they didn't do a good job on your car Bill. I hope they can correct it for you mate.

Tony.

I can see your point but who pays for the respray when they go through the paint trying to correct their mess..

Bad news pal. I feel for ya.
 
Yep that's right. I think you'll find its all good when you collect it mate. If they have good reviews and have been around a while they won't want bad publicity.

There are another pattern which I like more on eBay mate but they're more money. However I found the same item, from the same seller on Amazon for 2/3 the price and free P&P.???

Cheers for the pic Tony I have LED angel eyes on mine but the so called white is too blue and chavvy and never could make up my mind on the aftermarket lights on which version the black or chrome and the chrome looks spot on a black car, but to be honest looking at what I want to spend further on my ///M I'm at an empass as I sat in Z4 recently and the extra leg room makes such a difference as I find mine a bit cramped for long drives but do so love my car when I get to drive it but 50 next year so it's either a full respray, new roof, leather retrim and wheel refurb plus full suspension bushes before then or part ex it in so conundrum before then. Nice problem to have I suppose.

Yes mate, it is. To be honest that's why I bought mine last year because it has to be a daily use car. I did love my old Z3, hence all the bits and bobs I did to it but it was a summer/weekend car. Now it's different, so comfort is more in my like list. Bought an armrest from the USA, may not be to every ones taste but I think I'm going to like it.

Tony.

ps. I'm 59 now .............................;)
