Technical Not quite a fiat

Yeah they have said to send them back to exchange them. Did they refund your postage charges?
 
Found a pic from last weeks 'Frept' meet at Brands Hatch.



Got a few admiring looks from some of the french and vw boys at the meet! Only French and German cars were allowed in, and the girl on the gate nearly didn't let me through!! She said, "Its a citroen. Is that French??". Dickhead.

Sent the caps back. Got a message to say they were sending out the correct ones, then a few hours later got another message saying they don't actually have any primed caps in stock. Will be getting a refund. I know it's not much, but just a little pissed off that I had to spend £3.50 to end up with no mirror caps. Where did you end up getting your caps from then?

I don't want to go there, lets just say the caps were for a fiorino mk3, but came NOT primed, they are just normal caps.........NOT HAPPY
I've sent them a email every day since Wednesday and have had no reply, next step will be to open a case on ebay.

I think I'll just get the body shop to prime and paint my existing covers. Wont be too much work for them, they're only small.
 
I got a full refund and they also refunded my return postage. Can't say fairer than that!
 
So, qubo bumper number 2! Found this one on eBay and it's already painted so will be easier for a body shop to colour code this one rather than having to high build primer all the texture out of a non painted bumper. Will be taking the rear bumper and mirror caps off and dropping everything off at the bodyshop next week. Been quoted £400 to do all the work which I didn't think was too bad. Can't wait!!

Check out this thread (3rd post) for pics of what it looks like when done (less than £400 too!)

The bodyshop sprayed the entire bumper red then re-blacked the 'mouth' as I can see now where the stone chips have had their way with it. I was told the plastic needed a fair bit of filling to make it a smooth base for the top coat but it looks really good.

Yeah your van looks proper smart colour coded, but you have the standard bumper painted. I had thought about getting that done but prefer the qubo/multispace bumper as it looks more aggressive. The £400 quote was for both the bumpers to be painted (front colour changed, rear high-build primered and painted) and the mirror caps too. Think I'm going to leave the rear standard for now though and wait til I can find a painted qubo bumper with reverse sensors in it.

All I know is that 2 qubo bumpers take up far too much room in my garage!!

Which one? The van bumper or my other qubo bumper? The qubo bumper is unpainted but has the silver chin spoiler bit like you have. Bumper has a slight crease in it bit looks like it would heat gun out ok. The bumper on my van is in 40,000 mile perfect condition.

Could you send a pick of the other qubo bumper to my email?

Finally!! Front bumper is on!!

Had the van remapped a couple of months ago and the clutch started to slip straight away. Couldn't do a power run on the rolling road as it was slipping that bad. Anyway, managed to get a free weekend and got the van into my mates garage where he swapped the clutch and we fitted the bumper while it was up on the ramps! I'll let the pics do the talking!! :)













Also one on my wheel is quite corroded on the inside and keeps letting all its air out!! So I have one of my old 17's on and it makes me think that i should maybe get the mini wheels painted silver… :S



And yes, the roof rack is back on!!
