Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted June 20, 2015 I'm not happy with my rear bumper. The dealership that sold me the car has attempted to "fix"'some scuffs. Looks fine until in bright sunshine and you can see how rubbish the job was. At some point the previous owner has done some very mild damage to the bottom plastic part, looks like a slight touch to a wall when reversing. It has creased the bumper ever so slightly also. So I want a new bumper but don't have a clue how much it is going to set me back.. Any ideas? _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted June 20, 2015 I'm annoyed I didn't spot this when I viewed it, but it is black and it hides a lot until you get the sun at the wrong/right angle _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 I'm not too sure Steve but there's a couple of rear bumpers on ebay if you wanted to look for second hand ones, or contact Rich @ RRG and he can give you a quote easy enough. 1 Gringosteve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 8, 2015 Off to Subaru this morning. I'm demanding a bumper respray.. So fingers crossed. It seems they used a chipsaway type guy last time who has done more harm than good. _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 8, 2015 They won't know what's hit them. My best mate is a paint sprayer by trade and I have helped him spray many a car #wellinformed _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 8, 2015 They have agreed a respray is required. I'm now rocking a brand new Suzuki swift for the next 3 days. It is literally the polar opposite to the GT86 _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 8, 2015 Less than happy. I'm getting my car back without work started. I had taken to the closest dealer from the group. The dealer who actually sold me the car is refusing to pay and wants to see the car first, so they want to pick the car up and decide how to resolve this. I have had to organise working from home and swap cars etc for nothing. _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted July 27, 2015 Spoke to the dealership today. They are doing a proper respray of the bumper. Hope to have it back before the weekend so I can get to the JDMNorth meet _____________________________________ www.im-tuned.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter 3 Report post Posted June 9, 2018 If you get a bad job by Chipsaway contact their head office they will follow it up. I am lucky our local guy has a fully kitted out works unit and produces some good work and is starting to get some high end cars in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
