 Posted: 11:22 - 18 Jan 2010 Post subject: Motorcycle and car restoration site .. not worth a look! |
 |
|
Hi all,
While looking for some work to be done on my car I came accross this great site that offers lots of services. Like car restoration and painting. Along with motorcycle restoration and chroming.
I think they do powdercoating as well.
Prices are good too. Based in Manchester
Have a look it's worth a book mark I think.

Oh, I've heard of this company, they really fucked up my mates restoration on his RGV250
They had the bike for months, kept fobbing him off saying they were waiting on parts or tied down with other jobs etc. Eventually after he threatened legal action they said the bike was ready to be collected from their workshop and he went down there to get it. The bike looked great at first, really clean and they'd sorted out all the rust etc. and recovered the seat...the bike looked like new. He handed over the money and they loaded up the bike into his van for him.
It was only when he got it home he realised all they'd done was attach a lifesize cardboard cutout of a brochure image of a new RGV250 onto the side of his still tatty one It was crazy, I've never seen such a bodged job; from a distance it looked superb but at soon as you got closer the cable ties and lack of a 3rd dimension were obvious and it looked terrible when viewed from anything other than perpendicular to the left side of the bike. ____________________ ZX6R + CBR600RR |

Maybe it’s a different person that coincidentally shares the same user name and that’s how they found the site in the first place?*
That blog, which shows a shocking lack of knowledge (for instance talking about US laws despite being UK based), further suggests that this is a company that the OP and others would do well to avoid .

Well that's no fun.
Can't post comments on his website, can't find him on facebook, can't find him on imageshack, can't find anything interesting to do with his landline or mobile, can't find anything interesting about the other businesses run from the same address... can't find anything interesting about this guy.
Bah.  |

I would suggest that sounds interesting in itself - someone who doesn't want to be known or found!?
