    Sounds like something your local newspaper / TV station might like to investigate. Of course that's advice based on the American mindset of sue everybody for everything, not sure if the UK is the same way. In any event, I definitely think it would be warranted in your situation.

    Sorry dude.

    Well, fire off a stern note, and give 'em a good piece of your mind. Then throw the leaking steering box thru their largest window

    that sucks! i got my VX back from the body shop minus the roof trim, with a torn drivers side weather strip, a lot of finger prints and some excess adhesives

    i went back there and raised hell, they detailed it for me, put the trim back on (backwards and ordered a new weatherstrip from merlin (which hasnt arrived yet, but what can you do)

    Once upon a time we had a problem with some brits, we threw a party What kind of shop did you take your truck too? Sounds like the kind of shoddy work you would get in my driveway. You need to bring that purty little ebony over here to my house...I will fix it for ya. Maybe even throw on a custom bumper while I am at it.

    If the estimate calls for replacement of the part and you didn't agree to them repairing it, then they commited fraud.

    Lean on them till they get you a new bumper, and make sure to tell them you want to keep your existing part... you will then have a back-up for the next little boo-boo
