It went into the body shop yesterday should find out next week! I've got a 1.4 polo and it's *****!

Had an estimate today. The assessor counted up almost 100 dents. Cost to repair £1800. Am fortunate the insurance covers it!

Hi Doogle

Well with out sounding like a stalker, I drive past your house 6 times a week and look to my left to see your tidy CTR, but today it wasn't there, now it makes sense why. Sorry to hear your bad luck, hope you get it sorted.

Thankfully my CTR was parked in the garage and my EP3 CTR was parked at Bedwoth Tesco's which is now under cover.

I do know a very good dent guy if you need one.

John

Thanks John! Been in touch with body shop and they are going to repair it! Bad news is I won't get her back until 3rd August!

Glad to hear this pal

Good news, it isn't going to be wrote off, which body shop is carrying out the work?

I have seen you a few times on the road while I was in my championship white CTR and in my lift shares RS Focus in white with white wheels (real weapon). On one occasion you had it properly cornering at the end of M69 island before TGI Friday.

Think I've spotted you as well! Is yours standard?
That island is good for a play! Nice and wide!!!! Once I get my cams in I reckon I'd give the rs a run for its money!

Every panel was done! Think they are going to have to put a new roof on!!! I have clocked the mileage just in case though!

Yes, mine it is standard, well it has LED's fitted (sidelights and number plates), also running a fast road geometry setup on standard suspension, Type S rear seats (3 kids) and lashings of Workstat gloss.

Although his Focus RS has mounttune suspension (firm is not the word), mounttune exhaust and it is powerful I think I would rather have a supercharger CTR CWE. I have had a ST in the past and it never felt as nibble as the current and past CTR's.

Pleased to hear that mate, least it will be sorted.

typefern · 19th August 2012, 18:37

Just driven past a mint looking CTR CWE.

Good to see it back

John

doogle · 19th August 2012, 18:54

Cheers mate! Although you need to have a closer look they have really hashed it up!
Paint doesn't match bumpers! Specks of dust or dirt under the paint! Fitted non Honda windscreen and the auto wiper unit won't stay in place! Windscreen wipers don't work properly! They have snagged the cables for my gauges so now I can't fit those! They have scratched several bits of trim on the inside! Bits of paint have been missed and they have tried to touch it up but you can see bare metal in places! Bonnet is 3mm out! Windows won't open and they have fitted the wind deflectors incorrectly! Car has white dust from where they sanded it!
I'm not happy

I'm speaking to manager of body shop tomorrow and insurance! If I can I'm going to take it somewhere else as I don't trust them!

fourthdisciple · 20th August 2012, 10:39

doogle · 20th August 2012, 11:10
