Don't know why you feel that you owe the guy anything. He painted your car the wrong colour!!!

I cant believe im reading this. Seriously bro, you dont owe him anything. I dont know why your even thinking about him or his sh1tty paint shop. The money is compensation for doing a sh1t job, end of!!

If he contacts you again just use the words -"trading Standards" and watch him back the f*ck righ off...

You will get the car painted in your own time when YOU feel you have found the correct person / garage to do it.

I didn't think I did owe him anything. It's just annoying as I thought I was done with him and now he wants an argument. I've decided to ignore him, just easier that way. He texts in such a horrible way that it is hard to understand. Haha.

Thanks guys for reassuring me :)

Went down to get my ignition coil recall done. Those lovely people down there not only did that but they cleaned it, inside and out, as well as giving it a health check.

Well I WAS saving up to get some nice modifications, but this health check has other ideas. I need new headlights, new front discs, brakes and backplate, a CV boot and an oil breather pipe. There goes all the lovely things I had planned :(

Please don't take that at face value and get a second opinion from an independent. If you can elaborate on why they told you all those parts need replacing people on here will be able to help you check yourself. They probably washed it with a sponge full of grit as well.  :sick:

The clip on the CV boot is missing. The CV boot isn't expensive, so I don't mind having the whole thing replaced. The discs are below min thickness and the pads are worn 50%. Front backplates are rusted away and they advise new. The oil breather pipe is leaking.

Ok fair enough. Nothing wrong with 50% worn pads but should replace them when replacing discs providing they are below minimum thickness. Sorry for my cynicism but I don't trust main dealers.
Why do your headlights need replacing? I would still take it to a good independant if you plan on having all the work carried out as will be much cheaper.

They're chipped and scratched beyond repair. I was gonna do it anyway tbh haha. I am gonna get the parts from dealers and either fit them myself or get a garage to do it.
