...and I thought being keyed was bad...

Thanks for the kind words people :smile:

This bodyshop is decent apparently, so I'll take my chances with it. I'll inspect it within an inch of its life anyway, and take Midlands Detailing along too to give it a once over.

They can do it again if it's not good enough :smile:
The one thing you should ask the bodyshop is how they cure the paint, do they bake it or allow it to air dry. You dont want paint thats been left to air dry, its never anywhere near as hard as baked paint so will chip really easily :smile:
 
Gutted for you.. went through this with my last car and i got to put it in to an approved body shop of my choice. I was happy with the out come but since it never even touched my insurance my company said i never had to tell them.. (not sure if thats correct or not).

Hope it come back correct first time.
