What you pair like! Dont you dare!

You both know what you are doing and seem 'thoughtful' and 'mature' spannermen/people . would not lend anything to 95% of the people on SN unfortunately .

Been down to Scoobyclinic today to check progress.

A few friendly jibes from Kev about my weekly checkup upon my arrival.

Lots of progress has been made and you can tell they are doing a top job.

Bonnet has been painted. Skirts, mirrors and door handles all been colour coded.

The new cam covers were being painted.
Morrette Lights to do
New intercooler and pipework need fitting
Bumper needs to be fitted an painted.
The car needs a bloody good clean.

All being well I'll have her back at the weekend

As soon as I get her back she's going for a nice drive and a photo shoot somewhere

Got her back today.
Scoobyclinic have done a job that is nothing short of superb. They have done far more than they needed to and the attention to detail is fab.

I have always been sceptical about Scoobyclinic for some reason. This is my first experience of their work and they have done a trully brilliant job.

I will take some pics tomorrow but i cannot speak of them and their standard of work highly enough.

The pictures will speak for themselves.

It's not that they paid paul, it's the extra mile we go to make sure we give customer satisfaction even though the insurance companies screw estimates down to the bone.

You have obviuosly never worked for an insurance company.

So you're saying you did it free of charge then?

I thought it was the body repair shops that inflated estimates out of proportion....
