f**k! I wouldnt take any of that...its almost as if they've took it out for a spin and smacked a kerb for it to dent the tyre also....nasty thought to think what they may have done with the car...

That looks really nasty, got to have hit the kerb at a fair speed to damage the tyre like that too

ouch! sorry mate know u must be screwing already but that is bad! if you were to refurb them how would u fill the dent?? u've got evidence here in this post it wasn't there before u gave the car in, take them to the cleaners with it!!

Ouch mouse that is a real sore one!!! Dont stop till they refurb the wheel. It'll only be like Â£40 quid or so, but try getting the refurber to match the colour

It's weird the way it has cleanly sliced into the tyre. Might of been carelessness when they were towing it

I dont think it was a kerb, i think it would have been a bit bigger and rougher if it was a kerb. Could be a ramp or something?

Never thought of that actually. The bastards still haven't phoned back today

Chase them, hound them into submission, in my experience people never phone back when your saying they've broken something & you want it fixing

yeh keep hasseling them bud!

Before:

Cleaned the day it broke down

After:

As you can see a big improvement. All you need to do is take it to your nearest dodgy garage

mate I would kick off so hard!, tell me they refurbed it in the end?

Mouse_GTI · Post by **Mouse_GTI** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 3:18 pm

No they did f**k all. Was thinking about taking it to a small claims court but my dad thinks it's a waste of time. He even asked everyone at his work too and they said the same thing

The scary thing I find is how many people I know this has happened to, One of my pals recently invested in a VTS, took it in & it came out with a hugh chunk out of the RIM and the front quarter panel dented!!!
