antz Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 saw it on brid-cruise. get what you pay for in the end. pay peanuts you get monkeys!
Gonzo Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Makes me glad I'm competent enough to do that sorta shit meself.
Stu_B Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Yup, at least I'd have got all the wood screws drilled in a neat line
Copey Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 how gutted would you be if you wer the owner of that, i dont get how companies can take money off people for that kind of shoddy workmanship
Gonzo Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Mate, I wouldn't even class that as workmanship! I've seen better home-done chavmobiles! That is just one GIANT bodge. It's not even a bodge JOB, cuz calling it a job is an insult to hard-working people.

Cookie Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Not meaning to sound harsh, and I bet the kid feels gutted, BUT who in their right mind would expect a top notch complete bodykit fitted to top standards with a top respray for what £350??????? Did he not realise this??? Also I'm sure that nissan is worth a good few grand, so why the hell would you pay peanuts on trying to do so much, for the amount of labour any bodywork requires I'm surprised he got as much done as he did for the few hundred he paid. YOU ONLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, and in relation to anysort of bodywork this is more true than ever.
emu Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 In his original post he also says that he was originally quoted $250....whats that......£150?? To fit, prep and spray a body kit!!! I dont imagine you could do it properly for that price, even if you did all the labour yourself. and I think you would struggle for £350 to be fair.
Doc Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 how gutted would you be if you wer the owner of that, i dont get how companies can take money off people for that kind of shoddy workmanship dont get me started !

Whilst in principle I agree that it was foolish of him to think he was going to get a quality job from an expert at that sort of money, it doesn't in anyway excuse the quality of job he did get. If I get two quotes for the same job and pick the cheaper one it doesn't mean that the person doing the job has the right to make less effort in its execution because he hasn't quoted so much for doing the work.
