Comments all positive so far. :thumleft: :thumleft:

The paint aint genuine lambo dude, way to pricey. Still wernt cheap thou.

As for the speed humps they dont really affect me goes over ok. Unless i am being a bit heavy on the loud pedal :eye:

It reacted so it had to be done again. Toad are gunna come and sort it but they cant till after the new year now :cry: :cry:

What they(the bodyshop) have said is keep £500 back take it away make a list of any bits i am not happy with and when the door strut comes from america they will work through the list and then i can give them the rest of the money. Sounds cool to me gives me ages to spot things

thanks guys for your replys :thumleft: :D

Well just rang toad and they are gunna go sort out the imobilizer 2morrow so hopfully will have the car back tomorrow evening. :pray:

Cant wait to get it back been so long i have fogotten (spelling?) what it feels like to drive. I have got a few bits to do like extending the door wires to comply with the new hindges. And start making my list of faults if any with the paint job. I have been told to hold back 500 pounds, take the car away make a list of anything i am not happy with and when it goes back to have the passenger door strut fitted (when it gets here) they will make good any faults at the same time for the extra 500 quid.

That sounds cool to me gives me more time to spot anything wrong. What u guys/girls think on that? I have never heard of that happening before.....

I think it sounds pretty good, its often the case that the odd thing needs to be redone anyway...

Make sure you go over it with a fine toothcomb, several times, and over a few days with different lighting etc etc. Get as many people to check it over as you can. I'd be happy to have a look if you're down near Guildford any time - I'm a fussy git :eye:

Well there's the dyno day on Feb 8th I think that you have your name down for, otherwise there might be a Guildford meet towards the end of the month if Malcolm is around...?
