  1. Quite rightly and obviously both of you need to sort this out, i would hope that the thread does not turn into a huge mud slinging session. Hopefully you can sort your diffference's out on the phone and via pm. ;)

     

    A huge argument on a public forum is not the place otherwise it will be locked.

     

    Will go back to PM'ing him, IF i mange to get some sort of resolution or if Martin decides to meet me half way on the difference i will post here.

     

    I should think so. What did you hope to gain by tarring my name in this way anyway? Another threat along with this small claims court i can only assume. Anyway, i'm away to do normal things, just in case you phone the police because i don't reply instantly. I don't sit on the internet all day like some people in this world.

  2. Spoke to the company there.

     

    If you had asked for the item to be sent with it fully insured i would have, but as this was not asked for it was sent normally, which comes with a courtesy insurance which is the £130. As it was used item and not brand new from a retailer i'm not oblidged to send it fully insured as its not worth its original value.

     

    He also stated that if a item is clearly damaged (which it is), the driver would normally not deliver it and have it returned himself, for example is a radiator i saw at their unit yesterday which clearly has been run into with a forklift and was returned before delivery even happened by the driver.

  3. Thanks for airing your dirty laundry as you put it.

     

    Quite simply i'm pretty pi**ed off at this whole thing.

     

    I have half a notion to say don't bother waiting til the 15th and lodge the small claims court (by the way, £250 a day for your work, i'm in the wrong job).

     

    My attitutude stinks because of yours, you pestered my from day one for money off, then money back after you paid because you bought a newer 350z and the lip doesnt fit it (as if thats my fault).

     

    I struggled to get hold of a courier due to the size of the lip and managed to have a locally based modified car parts mail order company send it for me through their courier. They send out dozens of things like this every day and supply many retailers in the modified car world up and down the country and never have any problems like this. Their courier works on a weights based system, roughly £10 per kilo. So it was insured for 13kg which a plastic front lip clearly isn't.

     

    I can see where you and the other forum members are coming from. But i have no proof that it was damaged in transit, which would rightly leave me out of pocket. Anything could've happened to it after it was delivered, i just find it strange how you bought a newer Z then were desperate for money off as you had to sell it on ebay to get back your money, then all of a sudden my plastic greddy lip is halved in two.

     

    I will phone the company i sent it through right now, see how the claim is going and if it can be altered, but other than that i can't do much. I can't afford to lose £225 of my money for something i have no proof of being my fault. Neither can i afford your threats of a small claims court, which is

    the full amount £225 plus the cost of lodging the small claims (£50) plus the cost of me taking a day off work (£250).

     

    But then again i dont want

     

    Plus if you try to sell anything on here again i will make sure no one buys anything from you.

  4. what kit are you looking at getting? theres a number of performance garages in scotland but all have their rumours, good and bad.

     

    most supercharger kits can be fitted yourself, they're not a hard setup, the only thing you'll need a hand with is mapping the car.

  5. if you're going to be running a tt setup, surely most of the exhausts quoted in this topic are relatively useless as they are designed for n/a 350z's which require backpressure of some kind, whereas to get the best from a tt setup, you want the least restriction possible.

     

    personally, with 2k to spend and the thoughts of the tt conversion, i'd be going to a high quality exhaust builder and having it made to whatever spec is needed, not just bolting one on.

  6. Just had my front bumper painted, only cost £120 cash. looks perfect, he even stuck the badge back on and washed my car :p

     

    Thats crazy money! Are you sure they did a propper job? Did they totally smooth it down before painting to get all the existing stone chips out? That is very cheap. :surrender:

     

    i got my front bumper repainted for £80 recently :thumbs:

     

    i picked up paint today, 1.5ltr of basecoat was £40, you wouldnt need anywere near that, probably 250ml, i wouldnt believe what they're saying.

  7. got this a while ago with the intention of fitting it but never got round to it, and as with the other post, insurance money is needed!

     

    cost me £260 plus delivery, yours for £250 delivered.

     

    its not a cheapy ebay special, the quality is fantastic. also has gaskets.
