Further to my last post, I went to inspect the re-respray job this morning only to be confronted with a bonnet covered in missed bits and chips that weren't there before.
Needless to say, no money changed hands and the manager has assured me that the job will be done again to my satisfaction.
The kn0bheads either didn't do it properly or else they did and have been riding round town and added some stone chips, either way they ain't getting paid til it's right.
To further compound my chagrin, the rear axle is clicking like a Flamenco dancer on acid, the CD skips when it's cold and I've found my first grey pube!
