My bodywork was supposed to have been finished yesterday after only 7wks!!!!!!!!

Mike said he will have it finished very soon and it will be £650, to which my reply was f-=koff mike, he said well you had a quote of £940, to which i replied, yes i did but that was for a 10 day turn around, inc VAT, they repair my seat unit and side panels, and shot blasted the wheels!!

You are not paying VAT, i had the wheels shot blasted for you and i repaired my seat and panels for you and you have taken 2months.

Am i out of order!!!!!! ](*,)

Sound like your being very very reasonable - I haven't used a paintshop that is reliable yet. They say a couple of weeks and what they really mean is 6 months - same with the price.

Quote? I don't know why they bother sometimes ...
Grrrrrrrrrrr Yep got the Tshirt :twisted:
If it takes more than 2strokes then your just playing at it..

My pal did my fairing for £100 and it took less than a week.Top job as well,only thing was,i gave him the front mudguard to match the colour and it had been repaired and sprayed slightly differant,so my fault really.
I dont think your out of order,half price is about right for me,especially if there doing it in works time and getting "paid"for it.
I used to be so care less,as if i could'nt careless.
