Robert Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 ah im sorry but i really had to laugh at this bit "So, this afternoon, I get Martins Mirrors (they were attempted last Friday but I wasn’t in), which funnily enough had been posted to me using the same packaging I sent mine in to him! Lol, even using the same newspaper packing I had stuffed in there for protection!! So I guess he had received them after all! Here the punch line, and its three fold: Part one: I inspect the mirrors, to find the paint is in terrible condition, scratches everywhere; looks like they have been used are tyres. I was really pissed of with this, but thought f*ck it I’ll just get them re-sprayed when I get my bumper fitted" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 So did his 'almost immaculate' mirrors become 'terrible condition, scratches everywhere' as a result of his packaging then? Seems odd that he's unhappy with the condition of the mirrors given they are his 'immaculate' originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markymark Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Great to see Martin dealing with this in good time & a professional manner - we all make mistakes, but too few own up & point the finger of blame at someone else Good work & good result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Why on earth does Martin have to compensate someone else screwing up and scratching their OWN glass? If the deal had been a straight purchase of new mirrors, would Martin still be liable for this guy damaging his own stuff during fitting? If so, then Martin owes me a new engine because I lightly scratched mine during fitting a BOV I bought...

Lucifer Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 LOL, If the deal was stright then No I woudl not have offered the glass, but as its all my fault and he is no longer getting the said mirros, I have caused him pain so Ill comensate. Jsut being nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hang on, so let me get this straight. Martin you sent the chap his own mirrors back, which he didnt realise, and he tried to fit them to his car thinking they were electrically folding? if that is all true and i havent made a mistake in the translation, this is in line to be thread of the year 2006 *quickly saves thread for posterity* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Common, lets not shoot Matt down, he had a legitimate issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 In reality there was no need for this thread, Martin has acted exemplary and has sorted the problem asap once he was aware of it. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I still don't see a clear 'good guy' and 'bad guy' conclusion here - I see a lot of people saying Martin has been generous but then I also see a chap that says he got messed around and was sent back his old items but in worse condition. I'm in 'Judge Judy mode' here but I think we need to hear a response from the original poster before whooping and dancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I haven't bought anything from Martin, but as he is in Bristol, close to my parents, I'll be visiting soon to check out the new store. IMHO from what I've heard & seen on here he is very knowledgeable & a class 1 trader. Give the chap a chance. We're not here to be judge & jury. Everyone makes mistakes. Those that don't make mistakes don't make anything!! Makes sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not right to name and shame a dealer if the dealer is innocent.....Original post made it seem like the dealer was a complete numpty. And Martin has just proven the exact reverse to be true....

I'm in 'Judge Judy mode' here but I think we need to hear a response from the original poster before whooping and dancing. Actually, I never took his mirrors out of his box as I only opened one end it was obvious what they were and who they had come from when I located the package. So as for being in worse condition, that simply isnt possible. - well not from my end anyway. But if he wants me to get them resrayed then what can I do but say "fine" - to save my reputaion!
