Car is sorted..

I have just spoke to the coachworks and repairs for the wheels have been approved along with the respray, but only to both sides, leaving the bonnet as it is I would have though that by painting both sides to you would also need to paint the bonnet which looks bad although its not to do with the accident?? So anyway right now im paying the extra to get the front end done, does this sound right?

i'd complain. Speak to teh sprayers, and have them help you explain to the insurance company that the car will now not look right. Glad to hear things are progressing though. will you have it back by the 30th Nov?

Ditto that, how are they going to blend the sides into the front end.....get onto the painters and do as David says, or if you are going for total colour change do a deal with the painters. But good news that its all going through. you coming for lunch today?

Well when I spoke to them he said he would do the front end for £500. Which thinking im not going to get the front end done thru insurance I would do. I guess I can call him back and ask why they wont do the front end as part of the insurance? Bloody typical get one thing sorted, then read ym post this morning and have a NIP for 37 in a 30 through Bordon

Yes will prob head up to the lunch, no other plans.
