Punto (Mk2/2b) My Sprint Blue Mk2

Yeh they might see it as a "pushover job" if you ring and ask them if you can go. Do you get me?

Right i was going to go to Carl Vella today but i thought id give them a bell and see what they say first.

I spoke to the assesor and he said they wont be knocking it out and filling it, as you would need concrete to fill it, his words aswell lol

He said they just weld a new rear quarter on and smooth the edges, he said you wont be able to tell its been welded.

To be honest im not really to happy about it being bodged compared to how it was normally but i dont think i have any choice

Next thing is to check paint, so i will let you know on tuesday thats if it will be finished on time.

 

[Munkul]

yeah you dont really have a choice, but if they are any cop its possible to get a bang-on job doing it that way.

I got it back today . It all seems in good condition i cant tell its had a new rear quarter, apart from they bent the front pressed plate trying to take it off and why they wanted it off is beyond me. The colour is, i think near perfect although it just looks polished if you get me and the rest of the car looks more bland ? ill have to inspect it more tomorow after work.

To be honest i wouldnt recommend Carl Vella. It was fixed a week later than planned and they didnt phone us once. We phoned them today at 4oclock and they said ermmmm yea its ready when do you want to collect it or delivered, almost as if its been ready for days.

Hopefully now i will still like it as much as the day i bought it

good stuff hurry up with polishing the rest of the car, then you can make sure the colour match is proper. Leave it too long and you wont have any comeback.

Thanks m8 your interior looks very smart , its something i always wanted to do but never got round to it!

Im afriad ive sold that car though ^^ my steering column went and my engine went very tappety both at the same time so i decided to trade in. Ive got a black 08 plate Grande Punto 1.9 diesel now < because i travel 50 miles to work and back everyday .
