Other 2 will be done tomorrow.

Ok so heres the scoop. Car should (touch wood) be back wednesday! buzzing! heres my list of toys so far to go on:

  • 312 Brakes painted black with vRS stickers
  • Milltek cat-back exhaust
  • alpine media headunit
  • polk audio speaks (not arrvied yet)
  • 2x35mm and 2x 25mm FK (5x100 to 5x130) adapters
  • The Porsche boxster twist alloys
  • booked for seatsurgeons Leather retrim on the 24th
  • new rear vrs badge
  • new wheel nut caps
  • couple of little bits
  • poly bushes for front arb
  • whiteline rarb
  • cupra console bushes
  • new mintex disks and pads for the 312mm brakes

That leaves me to paint the rear brakes to match the front. Maybe get window tints, and hopefully that will be me for a while. Sub will get re-wired in and it will get a good detailing when the sun decides to come back.

ok had an unfortunate phone call today, the bodyshop called me instead of another customer by mistake so i asked him if the car was going to be ready tomorrow as stated.....no. fumes were due to come out my ears. said it will likely be friday evening could even be saturday. im raging! i wish he had told me it could take 2 weeks before i gave him the keys rather than telling me time after time it isnt ready. i cant do much about it as its incomplete. it better not go beyond saturday! ideally tomorrow would have been ideall to get it back but hey ho another 2 days on top i will just have to suss it out.

You paid him yet? If not, tell him your not paying the full amount. Make sure you've got your keys first!

what good will that do though, yeah its inconvenient but he knows my address. its a joke though, sounds to me like hes in no hurry. he said i could go up and see it, might pop by tomorrow and have a look to see whats been done. then that way he might think im keeping tabs on it.

Just tell him firmly that because of all the delays you've had, it has cost you money you hadn't budgeted for on taxis, public transport etc and you want money knocked off for the inconvenience. If your paying cash, it's most likely to be going straight in his pocket and not through the books.

He told me he knew my address - that's why I'm barred :lol:

yeh he knows for sure as i drove the car here with him to take it away again.

i know but tbh i dont want an argument about it, would rather get the car and go, i will see what comes about and what he tries to charge me first, he did state cash only.
