All is good, picked up some tt comps currently polishing them because the arches are getting shredded by the rs4's lol

I miss my old car, im liking what you have done with it so far though. Making me wish I had held onto her for just a bit longer lol. Can’t wait to see her fully finished.

My schmidts had 195/45's on and scrubbed on the inside of the front arches (mine are 7" ET25) but they are fine with 165/50/15's and look quite good too. Still have a decent amount of grip as well.

I cant make it tomorrow unfortunately, my car is completely ****** at the moment. Hopefully I will be able to make the next one.

It seems Just Car Clinic are under obligation to complete the job properly so back its going on Tuesday. Its a shame but im going to give them a hard time about doing it properly as I think they need a kick up the ass. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":coffee:" border="0" alt="coffee.gif" />

Here is a pic of 165/50's stretched on 15 x 7's border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />

Yeah mate if you could

Ill turn up too if my car isnt in another body shop

Cheers for the info everyone, do u have a name, address or contact number for the body shop you use Chris? I haven’t herd anything from the engineers yet but im hopeful they will let me send it somewhere else.

Cheers matey I am hoping I can send it somewhere else as Just Car Clinic in Hartlepool is where it was sent originally and I don’t think there up to it. It has only just opened up so I am guessing its full of trainees with little experience. I don’t know of any VW approved body shops in the area and the local stealers don’t have a body shop. Does anyone on here know of any decent/approved body shops in the north east area?

Thanks for the comments about the wheels, its a damn shame the steelies will be going back on again soon style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> The insurance company chose the garage but I have complained to them and refused to send it back. The work they have done has been pretty shocking to be honest, the first time they tried to give me the car back the wheel arches had been put back on incorrectly over the wings, the sills had been chipped, the paintwork was crap (running paint etc) and the bonnet and wings were about 3-5mm out of alignment style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Just waiting for the insurance company to send one of their engineers out to inspect it and fingers crossed it will be sent to a half decent body shop style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Got the car back on Friday a month after it was booked in, gave it a clean and put the th lines back on, I am really liking the look of the stretch but unfortunately the job the body shop have done is crap and I am in the process of complaining border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> the rear will be getting lowered as soon as the car looks right as its sitting abit high at the moment. A few of the paintwork: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Good eye sight required style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Cant of been mine as its still in the body shop style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> If it was decked on bathurts then its probably the one ive seen about but dont think its anyone on here.

Yeah style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> cruising about in a Zafira at the moment mate lol think I seen you down the truck road yesterday was it your car?

I have a set of 4 195/45/15 Goodyear Eagle F1s for sale here if you are interested.

The thread is here Its anoying not having the car but it is fully covered by the guys insurance so it is just a matter of waiting for it back better than before with a brand new front end style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" />

My car is in the body shop now but getting parts can take a while so probably wont have it back for the 20th style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Just bought me some 165/50/15 potenzas and had them fitted today. I had to hunt around for somewhere who would do it but eventually found a small back street garage who would. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> They will be going back on the car as soon as it is back from the body shop as its not looking to good at the moment border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> My old tyres are for sale here

Im up for this too if my car is back on the road in time
