daaaaaaammm thats bad. I've never done anything like that before in my life and i know i could do a better job that that! He could have at least spaced the screws evenly - what the hell! Although thats the least of the problems!

yes shocking.the bloke doing the work has the cheak to charge the customer for propper sealant and then just use wood and screws.

if you add it all up.the customer payed about £250.

How could he possibley think that was acceptable? Did he just drill holes and put screws in, then stand back and think "I've done a great job at fitting this kit"

Oh dear truly awful, like mike said its more than one problem its like 999!!!!!!!

Screws, random filler, runs, orange peel? a one armed monkey feeling the "force" with a lollipop shoved up its arse could have done better than those pions.

He must be related to the **** that did the rear doors on my Clubby..

I ordered new door bottoms from Mini Sport. The **** chopped of the rusted door bottoms and welded on the new bottoms.

Sort of flatted them and then re-sprayed em.

All good..

Wrong!

NS door had been dropped on corner before spraying.. so he just sprayed them anyway hoping I wouldnt notice. There is a rust bubble in the paint from beneath the paint within a year, runs in the paint... plus this dent..

Needless to say he didnt get paid the full ammount.

Angry??

Hell yer!!

If anyone else in Swindon would like to know where NOT to go.. please PM me

That work on the Z is shocking.. id have cried

That is unreal. I seriously cannot believe how bad that is. I think he must have deliberately done it badly because the customer was nagging him. Non genuine skirts never fit properly, but every body shop knows how to modify them so they look like OE. That's shockingly bad.
