A part of me died last night

[Ray_S]

I went to Dunnes on childer's road last night and when I came back out and saw that someone had done the most horrific thing possible. They absolutely ripped the crap out of my back panel. I'll post a photo later. There's 4 lines of DEEP scratches over the arch of the back right hand side wheel and the bastards drove away. I really wanna get this job thaken care of properly and as quickly as possible as it completely takes away from the car but I am seriously low on funds at the moment. I need a cheap solution. HELP please.

Stupid hit and run bastards! If I find em I'll burn their car and cut out there eyes performing such a horror on an object of such beauty!

Tough break man

has your car been resprayed a different colour?

[Ray_S]

Ya lightning blue. Paint code Saab 270

[colm_mcm]

Ah, at least you have a code.

[Ray_S]

Ya but that touch up paint always comes out terrible!

[Sgt_Major]

If it's done by a body shop it should be grand looking.

[Ray_S]

Ya any tips on who'd be the and/or cheapest?

[Sgt_Major]

No idea about down your way sorry. If you were oop north, I could get referrals...

[Dragonheart]

Ah christ thats sickening! I'd be heartbroken!
Think theres someone in Limerick that some people use, think maybe Laura (Optical Illusion) used them. And Miss-Enzo got a full respray recently so she might know someone too.

[optical illusion]

Right, I won't be going there so frequently anymore then...

Dermot just off the coonagh roundabout is good, he's not cheap though.

I know someone who could do a cheap, albeit not fantastic, job also. He's a panel beater too.

[optical illusion]

Oh also, in to security in dunnes with you and see was something reported or if they have cameras in the car park.

[Ray_S]

Ya my cousin is lookin at it tomorrow. He's a panel beater too. I alredi tried the cameras in Dunnes. No joy. It was a blind spot.

[miss-enzo]

the lad i go to is great have sent a few people to him since and noone has any complaints. my full respray including fixin the damaged wing, roof and pasenger door and it cost me under 1500. my mate got her supra done and it was <1400.
the lad works for a dealership, very well known. won champion apprentice panel beater/sprayer award this year, he's only 20 but he's as fussy with any car as he would be of his own (which is a real plus if ur as fussy as me! )

let me know if u want his details, if u can post pics up ill show him and try and get ya a rough price but he generally cant give a definate price till he see's it in the flesh.

[optical illusion]

Lou, will you PM me his details?

[Ray_S]

Ya can I get his details please?

There is a new body wizard across from Johnseys shop out by Thomand park!

Very good and very reasonable!

[optical illusion]

Where are you basing this 'very good' statement from?

[Ray_S]
