What's made you grumpy today?

[PandaMark]

My cat Archie died today, aged about 12 - I'd had him since he was six months old, in 1998
He'd been living with my niece back in Leicester after I moved to Birmingham
He had a heart attack today, according to the vet

His mum, Molly, died last year

Ah, been there before Until I found a professional bodyshop a good friend worked at, I was under the impression you had to watch them like an absolute hawk and tell them how to do a job they should be advising you on! There are some good places out there - find out where BMW and Merc etc. dealers locally send their cars

 

[punto_matt]

Most of their bodyshops are just local ones, nothing special.

Yes but the premium manufacturers will tend to send their cars to a place that will do it right first time, every time because they know the owners won't put up with any half-done job and if it's not done right, it'll get sent back every time. So it tends to get done properly.

 

[punto_matt]

Nah they wont. Most people who own bmws and mercs dont care because they are company cars. Just about all BMW dealers have there own body shops anyway. Audi just have "approved" bodyshops, quick look on the net can see how bad most of these are and tbh i dont know about mercs as weve never had one.

I got my car sprayed at specialist cars bodyshop, which is a bmw bodyshop but this is because my mate works there. My stepmums X5 has been done at sytner nottinghams bodyshop and they did a decent job and one of our 335s and our mini has been repaired at a stratstone BMW bodyshop.

You just contradicted yourself there but never mind. You may also note I said owners and not drivers Must just be Carlisle then - Rigby I can recommend an awesome bodyshop oop norf

 

[punto_matt]

Yeah i realised i did, dont really care if im being honest. Ignore my first post on it.

 

[Rigby]

why what's happened?

One half of the grille adhesive has come lose, paint on the bumper has crasked and a bit on the bonnet has worn off, not all happened recently but only just spotted the bonnet bit so i thought it call in before more goes wrong
