jim_supra Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 That is terrible, how anyone can do that sort of work, stand back and think that it was ok is beyond me. They could've done with using more self tapping screws though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 What company would honestly think they could get away with that. It's bad enough that there are screws, having them in a wonky line just adds to the poke in the eye At least grind down the heads a bit and fill them with filler first, then put a 1mm thick layer of filler over the entire car... would look okay then (Till the first nudge).... Don't want to be harsh to the bloke, but I did see a figure of $250 for fit and paint, and not being funny but that would ring SOOO many alarm bells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I see why it's so bad... I notice near the start of the thread the guy doing the work on his car says he's stuck in doing homework. Loving the wonky screws.
