What's all this blue stuff on the hub? It's on all four??

It went in to have a new bumper and rear wing put on (pillock in a van rammed me up the backside!)

it does sort of scratch off! But it still seems like it's there!

How would they of got primer on all 4 hubs when it only needed a new bumper and rear OS skirt?

Why arent the wheels blue, the brakes, the discs?? it seems very strange

I am not amused though its been away for nearly 4 weeks

I'll take it back but what will they do?


Trevor

Its a crystal grey 05 by the way

Phone pic sorry about size!!

Might be where they have baked the brakes on roadtest...Just to blow the dust off ya know....

Did they bodyshop manager look like the the car park attendant on Ferris Buellers day off??

Only messin mate..Take it back...they will sort out any overspray bits...It aint good enough though..

My brothers car went to be repaired at a "major insurers bodyshop"..It came back with overspray all over the screen,a wheelarch liner not fitted and dirty oil on the drivers seat..Thats customer service for ya!!!

If it's been in a paint shop for 4 weeks then it's obviously gonna get covered in a fine dust in whatever colour they're spraying in that time. Brake disc's would probably been effected too but obviously as soon as the cars used it'll disappear.

Have you ever looked around in a busy paint shop..? lol the radio is always a good one, covered in a fine dust and oddly enough it always seems to be white/grey/blueish..!

Take it back and get them to sort it. They 'should' have before you collected it..!

BTW nice 05 wrx..
