SMARTLY Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Oh dear, you need a garage to keep the car in. Is it fibreglass?

Tony Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think DK is one of our accounts, very high end specialists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 That's D & K Automotive not DK Engineering. I've always thought it was dodgy trying to park in the front garden, it's pretty tight and steep. You definitely need to find a garage for it.

Tony Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Problem is there's no garages in my area or i would. I've contacted a company called BMC Bodyshop and sent some pictures so all i want now is the quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 If I were you I'd look at sorting that front garden out properly if you plan to keep the car there all the time. Don't you have to bump the kerb to get it on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Technically the car shouldn't be there .....BMC Bodyshop have emailed me saying they can't do the repair So I'll try A&E who i know do good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Looking closer it's plastic or a derivative of..... The rear clam is fiberglass and bloody heavy so maybe that's why they don't use plastic there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Wow thanks.... I did find the forum but hung back because i don't want to transport the car there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 No, but somebody may be able to recommend a place for body repairs. If it's plastic then somebody who repairs plastic bumpers rather than replacing them?

Tony Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks for the link.... Very nice site. In between posts i have found Autoglass/ smart repair, sent them pictures and described the damage and kit and they have come back with a quote of £200... So assuming they don't come back to me then it's booked for next Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Autoglass as in the windscreen company? Do they know what they're dealing with? I don't think it looks like a smart repair to me, it's not a chip or scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 If they can repair plastic then they can repair my damage. They included this as well as glass> https://www.autoglassbodyrepair.co.uk/mobile-repairs/ Don't forget i have described the damage and sent images.
