Did you take note of the milage of car when you dropped it off. To see if they've driven it around which might explain the wheels and the rear bumper. Glad you got it back tho.

I couldn't say the exact milage, but it makes no difference. There was some petrol missing, but I would expect them to have driven it after fixing it to make sure it was all working properly. The point is how do I prove the wheels & bumper weren't scuffed before they had it?

Show them some pics of car that you took just before the crash.

Every garage has a vehicle check in procedure , I work for a truck garage and I check round every vehicle that comes in and note down damage. IF they don't hey must have this argument alot and end up having to fork out occasionally.

That would be cool - so long as you're cheap!!! - we could do some strut brace powdercoating bartering!

I was thinking about powdercoating my charge pipe and manifold too actually...

Well I've not updated this thread for a while, so I might as well fill you guys in.

You might have noticed I removed the poll from this thread (thanks m0rk) I managed to get my alloys refurbed courtesy of Drue1 and decided to go for anthracite. It's kind of come out like a dark grey, but I like this as it's different.

I also painted the badges (rear one's not done yet) in anthracite and the mirrors. I decided to paint the chrome mirror covers that came with the car which I had lying about so I can put them back to black if I don't like it, which I think I might do.

Also thanks to MrWookie for the carbon engine cover and green panel filter, I've not got the filter on yet, but the engine cover went on yesterday.

I've also got a SEAT parcel shelf tray thingy which is great (pics to come), I've removed the fogs which were completely obscuring the side mounts and I've also been replacing a few tired bits here and there like the numberplate light holders, strut tops, HID bulbs, LED sidelights and other miscellaneous bits.

I've also just dropped some cash on a jacking point cover since one of mine fell off on the way up to the National meet

Off to the land of roundabouts on Saturday to see Nick and steal his guages and pillar pod too

Can't wait for the European Meet, hopefully she'll be mint by then...

Wheels are looking nice. I've been trying for over a year to get D.K to do his mirrors in the same colour.

Yeah it was easier for me since I had the chrome covers lying around, I don't think I'd actually paint over the stock ones in case I wanted to put them back.
I still need to lacquer over them actually, they don't have the right finish at the moment. I was kinda in a rush to get them done for the National.
Anyway, thanks for the comment, glad you like them mate.

 

[cupra.al]

your wheels look really good completly changes the look of the car for the better.

 

[jonjay]

I think the Anthracite wheels set the car of nicely Mart, looked lovely on the road.

Good idea with the mirror covers I have my old ones about may spray them to match my wheels too. You pay full price form a deal for the parcel shelf storage thing, I think I need one there is no where to put stuff in the ibiza, they are about £70 IIRC?

got mine for £30 inc postage, I think the ones that are £70 come with the umbrella, first aid kit and all the gubbins. Have a look on Ebay.

Thanks for all the compliments folks, here's a little photoshoppin I've just finished (sittin around bored)

 

[Aimez]

Will have another look must have been some rip off merchant I saw selling them then! Thanks keep up the good work!

Further to my post above I finally got everything fitted this weekend. A big thanks to Nick (Skorchio) for helping me with the gauges.

And since I would never update this thread without some pictures, here they are:

The green cotton filter and carbon engine cover:

The gauges:

And I even gave her a bit of a wash (crappy pic though):

 

[tgorman]
