Cheers. I'm really nervous about reversing now in case I hit something and ruin his work.

I think some of these places do a cheap job in the hope people dont notice and they can save some money. My mate who does all my bodywork was doing a car last week that was worse than yours after a "proper job" paint was flaking and in places it wasnt even painted, for example they hadnt taken the bumper off so where the panels met there was an edge, its just shoddy.

Glad SL2 is back to its best. :)

Cheers. Yeah, the body shop did actually say there's a "thing" with insurers. If the car is >10 years old they are allowed to put in a quote for official Seat parts and then use cheap knockoffs (they may have said aftermarket). So the first bumper they fitted was an £80 knockoff. But the new one is a <>£400 official Seat part.

Wow in the last pic it looks like the ghost Aston Martin in James Bond, too shiny!:clap:

Haha, Cheers. I wanted to do that thing where you angle the camera to hide the wheels, etc so you can't tell it's a reflection. But it was so hot I couldn't be bothered and sat drinking Cider instead.

Wow we should all be very envious of your son, The power of all that freedom that we have all got used to.

Oh and I hope he has enough money to pay for all the fuel he is going to want to use :) does he have a black box fitted for insurance.

He's really excited at the moment. And loving SL2. I've already got him a dashcam just in case. Well he already scammed me for fuel money (after his uncle gave him money for fuel). Kids!

Needless to say there goes my turbo money. Ye, they are coming Friday to fit the black box :(
