bad experience
Discussion
Took the rear hood section from my chimaera to A trimming company at Bristol for a new rear screen and some re-stitching. The screen was ok but badly scratched. Was quoted £225 for new screen plus vat. Waited 5 weeks for it to be done and when collected they had just re-stitched around the old screen. said it would be £395 for a new screen to be fitted. Can buy new for £400. What a rip off!!
I've been ripped off exactly like that by a back street spray painter.
Bumped my old cossie front bumper years ago and took it to this sprayer and he verbally quoted me £400 for the repairs and the spraying of the bumper.
When i went to pick it up, he said the bill was £520, claiming that the £400 did not include the repairs and the cost of the paint. I regret it to this day as it was a bit yobbish, but i ended up pinning him up against the wall after a heated discussion and i was so angry i just took the car away and never paid.
You live and learn, now when ever i get a quote from anywhere and for anything, I ALWAYS force them to write down in full what has been quoted and the price clearly stated.

Renovo do a screen cleaner - it works suprisingly well.
I last did mine a couple of years ago but got interrupted by my neighbour while it was drying so I nearly had to scrape the damn stuff off.
Coincidentally, I was planning to do mien again tomorrow.
V8GRF also uses some liquid that keeps the screen supple but maybe not so necessary now that the warmer weather is here.
