CONCRETE BODYWORK

[ianking]

Menzies kindly gave my car a new image when it was with them for 3 days this week. I now have cement splatters all over it. Not to worry though I had discussions with their customer service manager on Friday and he is going to resolve it for me and also have words with their builders.
Every time I go and look at the car though it makes me a little upset. I didnt notice it though until I started driving home from the garage as their was so much dust on it from sitting in their building site that it hid the cement spots. http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/~04004306/images/mini.jpg

this pic shows only some of my new paintwork design as I also have it on the roof, lights, windows, plastic trim, doors and even the tailgate. At least its consistent anyway.

jeez that's no good. Who is the builders??? not Tulloch by and chance.???

[ianking]

not sure who their builders are. Im not local to Stirling though. I just started going to Menzies cause they sponsor the site and cause I got a good deal from Broon

[AndyP & Lenore]

Thats a shame Ian. Glad Menzies are going to sort it out for you though.

See you tomorrow.:D

uhoh sorry to hear that, i'd be raging if it was me, better not happen to mine when its up there! :evil:

[ianking]

I was pretty mad when I spotted it and was up for a bit of a rant but the chap I spoke to on the phone was very good and understood why I was tad upset. He will sort everything and I have good faith in him. However I will be going round the car with a fine tooth comb before I accept it back.

Heavens , that's not so good !!,and you were lucky you were at a dealers in a way and not in a car park , imagine trying to get a claim sorted out from a shop/ car park /builders etc that would have been a head ache for sure

[Duncan Stewart]

Thats awful Ian, hope you get it sorted OK.

After closer inspection today from several newminiscotland members it seems as though it is not cement after all, rather worryingly though it is silver paint. Most likely from the bodyshop at Menzies as the car was in there for 2 days getting a water leek fixed.

[X30YES]

Sure looks like paint spray to me Ian, and hope you get it sorted soon .

[Mini Me]

Not good Ian, we will obviosly get it sorted out, but you can rest assured its a phisical impossability to get overspray like that on your car from the bodyshop , however we do have a theory as to how it happened when the car was outside and we are on the case mate......

[ianking]

Im a bit happier now that I know you are on the case Iain. It certainly looks like paint anyway and not concrete as I first thought.
Can you shed any light on how you think it has happened and when you think it will be fixed.

[Wul]

Builders spraying the steelwork on the extension were they Iain?
