Finally got my car back
Discussion
After having waited half a year (yes really!) for my car, as you can imagine I was looking forward to getting it back. Got it back home, which luckily was forwards all the way, as it takes both hands to get it into reverse, and had time to have a quick look over the work :-
Hhmmm, just how much of the wrong sealant is used here? Cut the hole way too big.
There's a good centimeter of it. And it's cracking already.
Much less on this one. Shame the holes are totally different sizes. Both wrong as you can see. Oh well, moving on...
Nice bit of screwdriver work getting the mirror apart there and they didn't even paint the bit i asked them to.
May as well put a big bend in the grill too.
Funny how Noble supply well used clam screws these days. Or maybe there's some other reason...
These seemed to have very rapidly aged too.
And I know I had a drip tray when it went in. I saw it at the place being used for holding screws so I know it was all right after the accident. Suppose I'd better go out and see what else is wrong. Of course I'd be crazy to tell you where this was done. Wild horses couldn't drag it out of me....
Unbelevable, So now all i need to do is send it somewhere to get all of this put right.

Hope you have`nt paid for it yet! I too went to a well respected [on this forum] place to have some engine work undertaken, came back with chip in clam, mashed and dented intercooler and grease all over the seat, no offer to repair damage, and charged top money for the work done,...... never again!!

Shocking really. If it were my work I'd be too embarrassed to let the car come back. Then again, if it's taken 6 months to get to this state, just how long would a proper job take....
He invoiced the insurance co in February and they paid him. I didn't see the estimate, but the invoice is pure fiction. Iv'e been struggling to get the car back ever since.
Adrian, you forgot to mention:
1. Bent window support
2. Gringed off edge on the front clam where it meats the wings
3. Drivers door badly fitted and rattles when closed
4. Over spray in various places
5. Badly fitted front clam
6. Rear diffuser not fitted
7. Rear floor pan not fitted
8. Absolute state inside (looks like it's been on a farm for 6 months)!
9. LONG list of things not done that you specified!
10. Etc...etc...etc... the list goes on.....!

If the clam is that bad i can't imagine what the repair to the front chassis section would be like and thats hidden beneath. I'd get it checked out by the factory or another noble dealer or even call an independent insurance approved inspection company out to assess the repair quality and then send the report with a letter from the solicitors to the dealer that repaired it stating that you want it put right or they'll be paying to get it sorted from elsewhere. It is supposed to be repaired to manufacturers standards. That repair looks very far from anything that would be considered manufacturer standards.
I can't believe they even let the car out of the workshop looking like that, its a £46k car not a £100 fiesta!
They obviously don't want any more work or recommendations.

...and i'm not the only one.W.T.F. Don't they look at other Nobles to see the sealant is supposed to be black...mind you I think they Probably used clear so as not to show up the uneaven GAP!
I can't imagine the insurance company being too pleased to see that standard of finish!
You must go back to the insurance and get it sorted.
Hope you sort it without too much Aggro.
F.C.
