Ian Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I paid £260ish to have my bumper resprayed & the badge removed & smoothed over Quote
wizard Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 300 is wayy too much. I paid 180 to have my cracked rear bumper repaired and fully resprayed a few years ago (Accord Type-R), but I think the bodyshop man has changed his number! I too need to get my front bumper changed and sprayed.. if only i could find him again... he was brilliant!! Quote

sunset350z Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Do you work at Lee & Turner by any chance? I get my Z serviced there and they just told me that my next service is due, P1 @ £176 seems like a good price. I did have a door mirror replaced under warranty by them, and i must say they did a great job painting it. Quote

sunset350z Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Ok good, i'm bringing the car in soon for someone to look at the corrosion on the bonnet lip. I did bring it in last year and i was told that nissan wouldn't honour my claim. I wasn't happy obviously, but a member on here recently took his Z to Wessex Nissan in Bristol with the very same problem and they honoured his claim!!! To rub salt into my wounds his car was a '53' plate. and mine is an '04'. So now i'll go all the way with this. By the way, you may of sprayed my mirror last year, it was sunset orange. If i get the bonnet sprayed, i want the front bumper done and the wings sorted where its been stone chipped, at the same time. At extra cost obviously. Quote

All i could do is a report on said corrosion and take some images, then they get forwarded to nissan warranties who get the final say, we are just the middle men, it would be of benefit to us if all warranty claims were given the ok by nissan, if you got in touch with nissan customer services and keep on to them you may get lucky and depending on the area of corrosion i could possibly include some of the additional work you mentioned at no cost to yourself as i could include them to be blended.

sunset350z Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks for that, i'll try and pop it in soon. My only problem is i'm working during the week, so saturdays are the only time i've got free. Unless i book a day off next week. Are you there next week, and would it be possible to speak directly to you? Quote

Kennydies Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 Just gave them a ring and got a preliminary quote of £200 am going to take my car over the next couple of weeks. The website has changed and is now: http://www.jc-refinishing.co.uk/ Quote
Kennydies Posted May 8, 2009 Author Posted May 8, 2009 Got my baby back last night after being with them forr 3 days. John has done an awsome job on it, no more stone chips :-). I would highly recomend these guys, even if just to get a small job done to get a tour round the garage. A couple of American Hot rods they have just finished look great. Quote

Kennydies Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 Useful to know of a good, reasonable paint shop Any pics? I took my camera to do a before and after shot but discovered my battery was flat. Was an exceptional job though, looks brand new. Quote
