For the Roof, sideskirts, bonnet and spoiler to be fitted I was charged £460, cheap price ( i think) so I got what I paid for.

clearly they saw you coming, thats a rip off for all you got done and then theres the quality of the job...

i got my bonnet dent repaired and completely resprayed, front bumper sprayed, skirts sprayed, 2 wing mirrors repsrayed and the rear bumper colour coded and repsrayed for a slightly more than half wat you paid mate

I wouldn't worry too much Mr 4motions, it could have been alot more and at the end of the day you'll know for next time and beyond. I'm sure veryone has been ripped off to a certain extent at one time or another with cars, c'est la vie

Cant wait for the repairs to get done:p

Took a Few pics there so I can compare the differences, there not very good quality but you get the rough idea:

Reacting Paint on Bonnet (difficult to see in pciture)

Missed a bit spraying the bonnet (both corners)

Sideskirts 1 (all the way around)

Sideskirts 2 (mainly corners)

Damage they did fitting front splitter (dont know how they managed that one)

One of the wheels kerbed when they where movin the car

Edges of roof not properly finished (never bothered finishing the edges)

Those are just a few pics

That work is atrocious - I'd be very disappointed at that standard of work. Shocking in fact.

Now you can see how p****d I was when I looked at the work. :relieved:

If your at the crossroads at dunmurry headin towards makro, u turn left, go under the rail way bridge and up the hill a bit and then turn into a small turning on your right.

I was sucked right in and the shoddy work proves it, the bonnet paint is starting to go a different colour in sunlight, its like a brown instead of black.

Finally got around to gettin a pic of the car even though its been over a week since getting it back from the SQ. Work they did was brilliant, here is just a few of the things they did:

*Repaired the bonnet and is now like new, they had a really bad time working on it as well because the paint was reacting with what ever the previous guy used.
*Fixed up the alloys which are now like new

* Repaired the side skirts so their are no longer massive holes or cracks in them

* Repaired score marks and stone chips around different parts of the car

*Painted the calipers, in pics they look nearly pink but there really red/orange colour.

Only managed 3 pics:
