New Colour

[Ninja]

those last pictures are shocking.. If its chipping that bad already surely its not gonna last long ???

Sorry but on close up that is a very bad job for the money i paid that sort of cash to have my old show car sprayed 2tone including the door shuts etc car fully stripped was gone for months, never had those sorts of problems.
I'd be very unhappy with whoever sprayed that. Just my opinion.

 

[fletch555]

I love everything about it except the dark rear clusters.

Edit - Just got to page 2.....omg I would be demanding a refund, that's a shockingly bad job!

 

[Unbornink]

i am very unhappy with the finish, and i will be getting it sorted out and will be demanding a refund plus money to replace parts that have been damaged.
If they can't do the job properly the first time why should i trust them to do it the second time round......not that there should even be a second time!

Ive got to mates to come with me who work in car repair (unfortunately for Ford & Peugeot so can't get them to do it) for back-up and to clearly show how bad the work is. And with those problems and the type of paint its a full re-spray again.

 

[sjc59]

Good luck getting it sorted mate should stick to that colour just get it done by people who know what there doing whoever did it the first time clearly didn't

 

[Ad Lav]

I'd get your money back!!!

The handles are supposed to be taken off to paint, and the aerial base, they've cut loads of corners!

Shockingly bad! I'd be proper fuming!!

 

[Andi]

Sorry to hear about the problems with the paint.

But.... i like it although i would have rather spent the money on coilovers and a new set of rear lights.

All the best with trying to get it repaired / refunded.

looks awsome from a distance but as i work in a bodyshop i can see every shortcut they have taken the havent removed anything! or masked anything by the loo of it! them handles are so easy to take out you dont even have to remove the door card!!!!! theyve painted plasic without preparing it properly hense the peeling rubbers havent been removed just masked up!

this is shocking and to think it took them 5 weeks take it back and raise your voise just say sort this out nicely to beguin with as you dont want to wind them up then if nothing happens start raising your voise BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!

That really is appalling, I've done better jobs on a Sunday evening patching up off roading damage on my land rovers... And as for leaving all the door shuts and stuff i presume that was your choice to bring the cost down? Where are you in Kent, near Maidstone i presume? If so I know a guy who can help you out, i take all my stuff to him and his work is excellent, someone drove into the back of my Onvi LCR in a car park and then left no details or clue of who they were before driving off and i was originally told it would need a new bumper and would set me about about £600+. He sorted me out for £100 and you can't even tell it had happened.. And that is saying a lot as the yellow is the hardest colour to match.

 

[04_cupra_r]

Also where did you get your alloys done and how much did it cost?

 

[nick-barnes07]

that is shocking spray work , i am paying £1000 to have mine sprayed , and the bloke does a quality job as well , he done my old car and the finish was possibly one of the best i have seen , no masking tape marks or anything , there are good sprayers out there that are reasonable , but there are also a lot more **** sprayers out there , i would demand a refund , good luck getting it all sorted

 

[Unbornink]

Also where did you get your alloys done and how much did it cost?

Lepsons in Gillingham, around £60 a wheel

 

[sjc59]

Hi hows it going with getting it sorted?
Sorry to hijack but if you want good cheap wheel refurbishment try spit and polish in tonbridge

Yeah, I normally go there. Take bike rims and everything, their really good. I'm just trying to get some recommendations and comparative prices to see who is best. Also don't know whether to have all black or have them half and half like unbornink's.. Think all black would suit a Onvi LCR better and be easier to have done.

 

[fresh_creps]

Am liking the colour mate but the work is appauling,feel sorry for you man.

On another note did you happen to be driving through dunstable yesterday,as I saw another leon exactly the same as yours passing through yesterday?And I'm guessing there can't be that many bright orange leon's about lol.

 

[lofer]

If I were you I would cry! Is there actually a decent body shop in the country?

 

[Murdered LCR]

i saw this at a cruise in otford last wed looks really nice i thought not sure if you followed me from essex ???? i was the one leading driving the scooby p1 .??

 

[04_cupra_r]

A cruise? In Otford of all places?! Was it in the Sainsburys car park?

 

[Icecavern]

Sorry I wasn't a fan before I got to page 2. If you're going to get it re-done do the door shuts etc. It just looks like a half assed job when you open the door to see a different colour.

 

[sjc59]

Saw this the other day driving through Canterbury looked good at a glance great colour but needs to be finished properly.
