I can't believe the guy actually paid and signed off on the work too!!!! Lack of common sense coming from the owner didn't help this situation, imho.
Poor car

I think if I tried to fit a bodykit to a car it would probably look that bad....which is exactly why you pay someone to do it properly. Just how on earth he thought it was reasonable to charge for that work is just staggering....

My daddy, says if that man comes back asking for his money back i,m not to give it to him,

The big man asked me if i had modded many cars before, i told him i had ,

my dinky cars all have bits missing where we crash them into the skirting boards.

The screws i used were good, it says on the box, suitable for plastic, wood & steel.

And i did shake the cans of paint for two minutes before use, well sort off

my arms got tired after about thirtyonety wiggles and the thing that goes

clatter in the can wasnt as good as when i started, so i stopped.

ananan i was going to use poxy desive, but the big man in the shop said i

wasnt old enough buy it and i should go back to playing with my mekano,

but Billy from down the road had pinched all the long bits wiv the holes in

to make a masheene gun, so i had to use a lolly stick.


oh and before nayone asks, im 7 not six
















































omg


trading standards?

i cant understand why someone would hand over such a nice car and expect it to come back looking any better after being quoted $250 for the work

then after all the excuses of why it wasnt ready etc he actually paid $750

proves what ive thought for ages

I've seen just as bad come from INSURANCE approved bodyshops, which is why I never let my insurer dicate where my cars goes to be repaired, ever.
