i don't knoww if i am being particularly picky, but i recently took my STI8 into the3 not so local dealers to have 2 18" Prodrive wheels replaced as they had damaged them during an earlier visit for some warranty work.

When i was cleaning the car the other day, i noticed that on the 2 new wheels they had fitted rubber valves instead of the better bolt in variety.

Now I'm trying to be calm about this, but do you think I should be on the phone to them or am I being petty?

sounds like crap service - they should replace like with like.

i know how you feel about it seeming petty and possibly embaressed, however it is their mistake.

up to you, but it is always the little things that pis5 you off the most eh?

also are they gonna rev the nuts off your car from cold in the future for being a picky customer - i dunno??!!?

maybe find another dealer!

Shows a lack of care on their part and poor attention to detail, Still the wheels are only £275 each!! Tossers!!!

Sorry Rant over just annoys me when they do things like this.
Make that call!!!

I'm even more pi$$ed with them now - i've just been out in town(So tootling around in traffic) and the cars developed a knock on deceleration and acceleration from the gearbox/front subframe area - loosened when they swapped the clutch 200 miles ago.
