Ric Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 agree name and shame before anyone else goes there, that's disgraceful, and i don't usually post in these garage/tuner fuck up threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thats the worst Supra paint job i have ever seen, and Ive seen some dogs. Masking around everything and throwing cheap paint at it destroys a supra, tell me about it i have just had a complete colour change done as the last paint job was awful. Toyota used a high grade paint e.g. Sikkens on the Supra, so you need a respray with that grade of paint with all the windows out, bumpers etc off. You have had 2 vandalisms, the bodyshop did the second one. Time you took legal advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 And if the legal approach fails and you have to take the soop elsewhere to be finished wait for 6 months and with the knowledge in mind that he has no insurance Bye, bye garage. Someone tried that before - which is why Steve's car is in that state in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Actually it's happened 3 times now... they attacked the garage again last week. Yep I can call in a few favours but is that the right way to go? I still end up with a worthless Supra This isn't the end tho chaps. All will be sorted 110% before she's sold. It's looking like the sale is off until next year tho which doesn't help finances at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddigga Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Someone tried that before - which is why Steve's car is in that state in the first place. AS I mentioned I was only joking but I can imagine that he must be that angry. Seriously as I mentioned before go to Citizens Advice - they are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 That's a disgrace. Reminds me of a guy on here a while ago (can't remember his name) that had his car done. Guy f*cked it up, then agreed to redo it and it was still a mess. It needs to be done by someone else because they'll only bodge it again. Take it away, and get the money through the courts. I find this thing so hard to understand now. Been in Japan 18 months now and the last thing I think about is my car being vandalised in anyway, just doesn't happen. Sames goes for bad workmanship, people take a lot more pride in what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 ... Been in Japan 18 months now and the last thing I think about is my car being vandalised in anyway, just doesn't happen. ... Mindless vandalism is a UK thing. You won't find it anywhere else. Theft YES. Vandalism for the sake of it, NO It's probably a sad remain of the class system, people convinced that they will never go up the social scale no matter how hard they try, just like their forefathers. So they don't bother trying, and act like cretins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twijesiri Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Take legal action mate, its not worth giving them a 2nd chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 If it is a vandetta against the garage it is a shame they take it out on customers cars rather the the garage itself or the owner/operators. This has to be one of those nightmare situations most of us would hate to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thats nasty mate..and if it aint sorted those edges will feather out and get worse,laquer will peel off etc...i mean if they are a garage with 1000 bhp supe etc youd think they would have stripped as much of the car themsleves before it went to the bodyshop...and masking like that has been done by someone who aint had a fekin clue what they were doing:(..this must be a nightmare for you mate,hope you get it sorted:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Just bought a house bud so can't be shelling out to have it sprayed myself. To be honest I shouldn't even have to face the cost myself! Easiest fix is I take his Supra or Skyline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Maybe his Supra is the same colour and someone wrecked yours by mistake. By going legal, you do it all above board, he pays all the costs and you get a nice new paint job by the painter of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Yes, his Supra is silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they don't bother trying, and act like cretins. I was suprised, that some kids was smashing windscreens in buses with stones, I wouldn't find anything like this in Poland (except maybe after-football-match thing). What's the point? Problem is, that they will just get slap on wrist and that's it. Yesterday some 14 years old girl spitted at me, because I asked her to pay for ticket. In Poland i would just smack her straight onto her face, here I lead her out of bus and little shit was cheeky enough to threat me with police for assault. It was 11:30 PM, where the hell was parents? Prolly stoned after nice pot session paid by social support money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
