A couple of months ago I had a little accident in the zed and caused quite a bit of front end damage etc.. After much wrangling and arguing with the insurance arses I finally got the car repaired..... Or so I thought
Today a nice shiny grille from Steve350z arrived, jubilant me bounced out the door to fit it as soon as I finish, unscrew the plate as its a JDM to help get the grille on, and the license plate holder falls off look at the hole and it's clear some kind of glue was used to re-attach.. I look further and the OEM grille is glued together in places, swinging free in others.. The two end caps either end of the grille are swinging in the wind, and to top it off.. The reflectors push in on the front edges, not a little but enough to flex the bumper
For the 4.5k they charged my insurers I assumed I'd had a new bumper etc, don't look that way.. Just some **** with a pot of solvent weld.. how the hell can a national company think they can get away with such shoddy work???
As a sole trader I would get reamed out to the high hills for such cowboy style workmanship, I give them a piece of my mind over the phone, asked me to attend for them to just stick bodywork tape to hold my plate on till a fortnight from now as they have no courtesy cars to offer me till the end of the month while they assess the claim... WTF!!
