It serves me right, trusting a car wash bod at the garage i'd filled my LPG tanks to help me reverse out just caught a concrete post been quoted £600 to sort anyone know someone around the Grimsby area can sort it

DMR at Bawtry South of Doncaster isn’t too far away, they’re very good at moho repairs as that’s all they do It’s possible they could squeeze that in between jobs they’re waiting for bits for, that’s what they did for my repair, 1st class job they did too

That said as it’s only the base vehicle any repair place could do it

Mine was due to be done by them when I bought it up to them at the end of May Ady,, still not been looked atI would not recommend them at the moment and I know that Premium have a few vans waiting to go and Steve has his Morelo booked in but I think that got put back!!

I rung em Monday, took it in Tuesday, picked it up Friday

That’s why I had to wait

Now Steve has to wait till mine is done

Only based on good reviews I was very happy to wait

Mine was there first, don’t push in

 

[TheAleMan]

As slippery as an Eel me David, so you shouldn’t be surprised if I was in front of you.

Would have been nice of them to let me know what’s going on Steve

 

[WESTY66]

When was that??

About 4 weeks ago

 

[WESTY66]

I’m Fairness to them it was a small job and it was done in between other jobs, and locals get priority

About 4 weeks ago

Have just sent them an email as he has had my van up there available for over 2 months, I know they had a few issues but mine was booked at the beginning of May

it seems the new owner has chopped his Carthargo in PX, obviously got fed up with people taking the p out of him all the time

 

[Guigsy]

I think the A4 paper sized wing just bolts on. Is there damage underneath? And just tweaked brackets? I'd be getting a replacement wing myself. And then seeing if paint shops can sort you out. Should be faster and cheaper.

He’ll soon regret that

 

[DavidG58]

Feel for you, done pretty much the same before, I think £600 sounds like a result, if they are convenient for you get it booked in

 

[Lenny HB]

Looks a fairly easy DIY job to me.

Yes it would have been Mark, not very good on that front I must admit. I did say they should be up and running again in the pm I sent you a few weeks ago. I phoned Mike a few days ago to confirm everything was ok for this week.

 

[Gromett]

I can't tell from the image model/year etc. But a quick Ebay and saw that £60-£80 will get you a new panel.
If either of the other panels are damaged and are plastic then a hot air gun may pop them back out.

I would be tempted to have a DIY go first. The worst damaged panel is just bolted in I think?

 

[Two on Tour]

£600 is a good price, as the front quarter and headlight has to come off first before you can take the wing off.
I replaced one of our front quarters after hitting a lorry tyre on the M25. It was a pig to get off and more so to refit after I had our local spray shop spray a new quarter for £300 cash, so add on removing and refitting the front wing as well, then I think that £600 is a bargain.

Look at this old scrapper in front of us at DMR today. Looks like it'll be here for a while.

Just had a reply Steve and van is in this week ready for the new (lucky) owner next week.

You in there for the 3 days?

 

[TheAleMan]

Been told 3 days yes Mark.

Oh don't we just.

I think he ought to be treating himself to a new one

I did look round Premium but didn’t find anything I would willingly swap to, mind you I did rule an awful lot out, too tall, too expensive etc
