I put my car in to a local spray place one week ago to have the Le kit put on and sprayed with also the bumper resprayed and the rear bottom black piece, i got quoted about £360-£380 which i thought was quite good and i had used this place before and their work was always good.Went to pick it up today about 11 oclock looked around it and it was dread full not the actual paint job but the fitting of the kit, where they had used mastic like stuff to put the lips on they hadnt cut all the beading left from the dry mastic and just sprayed over it, same as where they had put the skirts on as you have normally got a groove between the bottom of the panel and the start of the original black sills they had put some of this mastic in the gap but hadnt smoothed it off and just sprayed on top. I was devistated and angry especially as i have had to wait over a week for and it seemed like they had rushed it on the last two days. Ihave asked them to do it again as im not in a rush but just want what is expected, do you think i was wrong? I felt bad as i dont like to complain about things, but when it comes to my car i like it to be perfect. Has any one got any close up pics of their skirts after they have been fitted so i know what its supposed to look like? Thanks for listening to my moan, any pics would be great.

See my profile link for pics of mine.

I paid about 60% more than the price you have to include the bonnet and blending of LE lips in with the front bumper. OK, so it was a lot, but the finish is absolutely A1 and I've had enough paint done on cars to know that you pay for what you get - especially when it comes to fitting fibreglass kits.

jamie
sorry to here,you must have been devistated

if its that bad, i would check were they have sprayed the black bit on the bumper,if they havnt etched it first the paint will blow off the first time you pressure wash

heres a couple of piccies of my skirts(zender not le,but the effect should be the same)

i hope we are going to see you still on the 5th

Yes mate i will still be their i wanted to show it all off, lets hope it can be sorted, im sure the guys at the body shop will get it right, but they should of got it right the first time, it would have saved them lots of time and me lots of anger.

Hi mate

I had mine fitted a few months again by a chap who has done work on my cars in the past. He welded 6 brackets to each of the cills to marry up with the flanges on the skirts. They were then screw fixed in position, and mastic'd on the top edge. Although it cost more its well worth it as they are really sturdy.

Hope that helps if you choose to have them re-done.

i fitted mine and managed to get none of the fibreglass to show and they fitted a treat, sounds like they rushed it abit. get some discount of them?

Mate get a discount! the geezer will get a black eye if its not perfect that why i was wondering if i could see yours or at least one of them . Any chance?

Thats the spirit, don't take any crap. I take it you want a pic so you can show them how it should be done.

You got it Woka. Doesnt matter who you take it to, what their reputation is like or how much you spend you cant trust any one working on ya car, something always goes wrong.

I agree, reputation does not count for anything these days but then you can apply that to anything especially dentists. There are a lot of people who just don't give a monkeys.

Name and shame them once the jobs been put right, Its their loss cause if they had done a good job they would have got more work through the forum after you sang their praises.

Look at Joy tuning I think they have a bad rep on here now due to their don't give a toss approach to customer services.
