A friend told me of a similar thing a while back. Turned out the local garage had paid the local gangs of youths to drum up more business for them. :rolleyes:Herman - MP for all!

I don't think thagt would happen round here? I live in a sleepy city called Hereford and nothing happens round here. What are you having done for £200 felix?
Mine is going to be a full respray near enough!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
£1300 isn't too bad for a full respray (not knowing the size or colour of the car) if the quality is up to scratch. I've seen £600 spray jobs and I'm amazed the bodyshop didn't die of embarrasement handing over a car in that state.0

I went to a few other bodyshops today,one said £600 and the other was £700. Seems to me that either the first quote at £1300 was trying to rip me off, or it was because my wife went to see him? I've never thought about people ripping women off?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Sounds bad but what's to say it wont happen again if you get repainted?
Personally if they local yoof are into this kind of activity this week I'd leave it for a month or two before getting painted by which time they'll have a new interest to keep them occupied. Also lets not forget half term next week so they'll be bored...0 -
You see i have no kids so wouldn't of thought about them being off again! We keep the car in the garage, were saving up to get it done. The bodyshop said though that if we part exchanged the car it probably wouldn't be worth much less if left alone and not painted!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
