Hi,

You have every right to go in and talk to the manager; and then firmly state what has happened.

The sooner the better lest they claim that the scratch occurred after wards.

I don't believe that you are too picky by doing the above either.

But you can certainly tell them that you are picky = meticulous.

my 2c, Tez

I also agree. Call them asap if you cant go in there right away. Then take it in and get them to fix it.

If they dont, call consumer affairs. Be worthwhile if the part is worth 500 bucks ! :P

Yeah I could see this was going to happen so before I took my car in for a new head unit I pulled most of the trim around it off and put plenty of masking tape on all the parts they might scratch. Looked stupid but was well worth doing.

When I got my headunit done in my R34 they scratched the outside panels on the centre console (the black sections on the edge of the console), even on the gearstick sections.

I absolutely went mental and after 15 minutes of me yelling and carrying on eventually the owner agreed to discount the price of the unit and installation was completely compensated

feel bad to ask?

dude, thats YOUR car...............

the owner of the shop made money out of you for the work he has performed.....and the scratch his worker performed....

i would ring them up and talk to him about it.....

u neva know.....doesnt hurt to ask....

he might even fix it for you to keep a good name for his buisness.....

or he could just be a f$% witt about it......

thats when you ring the "office of fair trading" and explain to them what happend.....

things on the dashboard arent cheap for some reason...

especially an import.

well if you dont..........your the one stuck with it.......

thats why i try to do things DIY..

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
