Arrow Oh you Muppet!



Topic description says it all. Nicely scuffed underside to front bumper.

In the last six weeks I've managed egging, oil filter failure, parking ding, and grounded bumper.

So bloody annoying. Ah well, see what Little Knocks can do when they sort out the few bits they need to touch-up from the egging, and remove my ding.

Still, top down, airbox lid off, , and the is still there!

Sorry to hear about this. Their colour match on my front bumper was superb, and they pulled a dent out for me on the passenger door

Chris should be able to sort it out

I've done this a few times as one of my favourite roads is all up and down and even though I know its going to happen I just can't back off enough before the inevitable scrape as it bottoms out.

Good fun though!

Got Little Knocks to sort out the bumper scuff. And the ding in the nearside rear panel. And smooth out the imperfections from the respray after egging. Oh, and the lacquer overspray.

Reasonable value again for the 'new' damage, and once again, excellent, excellent service. They are to be highly recommended.

I did have a good long chat with Chris today about the rework they did to cure the imperfections. His feeling now is that he's going to offer owners an option when it comes to respray..... do it relatively cheap (as in the first instance for solving my egging problems) on the basis that you take the small imperfections given the saving you'll make over a bodyshop. Or, leave the car with him for longer so they can really work on it and cure any imperfections that may be there - as they've just done with mine after this second visit. You will, however, have to pay closer to bodyshop prices if you opt for the full-on treatment.

Regardless, still excellent at what they do.
