Good to hear of the Salvation and Well Done 👏…..
can you breakdown the £1600 spent for us/me ?
It’s good to understand how these ladies costs arise
thanks. Malc
If you’re concerned for that colour match aspect alone then you should choose the best Bodyshop you can afford …… in the UK …….. the paint and painting alone, professionally, might cost you the best part of £1000 ……. paint is enormously expensive these days, maybe 50% of that cost AND the cost of a whole new part too of course …….. if that’s the way to go
OR……. DIY and a can of local Motor Factor best colour match spray and save yourself a fortune
Good luck
Malc
Many congrats on having the strength of character and perseverance to achieve this very positive Outcome Well Done …….. and in the process saved yourself the best part of $ 600 +
Well Done 👍

Paul hi. I found parking up on the Main Dealer forecourt, presenting yourself ( walking stick in hand ), say late morning but before lunchtime, might generate some sense of empathy from the MD who will sit you down with a coffee and have a chat …… from which they will simply say YES 👏
Try it and see 👍
Malc
they might say NO but empathy is on your side methinks !
Sorry to confuse but with your
mentioning the word rood
I extrapolated the word perch
and took it further with the old aged measuring formulae of
roods perches and acres
too complex …… sorry, my
mind sometimes works in mysterious ways ……., that’s what comes from driving a Lexus Ls400 for a quarter century …….. Hope it’s not contagious 😅
Malc
I was thinking more of roods and perches and and and and if you might have an acheing ,,,,,,,,,,, acre or 4 or 40 ......... c'mon now .. don't fall asleep on the job !!!
Malc
I don't know about your specific car parts but I have recently used " autodoc " well reknowned they say ........ and they supplied me a radiator for my Honda from Lithuania ok ... and in just 5 days at a brilliant price too
Good luck
Malc
Falklands might be an ok option for you . ?? Tristan do Cunha .......... ...... I won't say Sheppey coz of the local nuclear fallout from the french Nuclear Power Stations maybe and summer riots from the holidaymakers descending and all that potential Civil Unrest
Malc
You can get a lot of Daewoooooo Chevy Aveo for your bucks …… you’re right……. I’m thinking no one here’s ever heard of it 😂
Chevvy conjures up all sorts of “ romantic “ connotations ……. zipping down the freeway ……. your daughter will love it 😄
Malc
And we simply KNOW well used and appropriate ICE diesel and petrol vehicles have a whole fresh extended life exported to Africa wherever ……..where EVs would be laughed out of existence ……. say crossing the Sahara …… or the Gobi whatever
Malc
Mods I think these latter posts need transferring to some other Section maybe ?
Apologies for starting something irreverent here 😇
EVs today …….BREAKING NEWS ….. . just heard from a buddy that Toyota have decided to no longer provide EV cars development whatever
They don’t perhaps see a sensible future until a new generation of lightweight batteries manifests
NO DOUBT A GURU HERE WILL CHECK THIS ALL OUT 🤔
Malc
Thank you. Seems a worthwhile warranty for sure and stood you in good stead 👍
” lucky “ I guess these issues with your car arose so soon after purchase and the warranty could be used
Well done
Malc
