Default New Miracle Van - Now with scratches and overspray

Hi Guys,


Im not happy at all, the vans been away to have the back kitted out and Speedlinered and this is how it comes back!!!

First off, we have read overspray on the windscreen... I clay half the windscreen and this is what I find... There is overspray all over the van, lights windows paintwork and wheels...




Next off we have a deep scratch in the passenger door.



Bit closer...



Next is some scratches under the door handles...







This on the rear bumper..



This on the lower part of the sliding door..



Overspray on one of the wheels





Scratch on the front left wheel.. funny that the tracking it out as well.



And this on the chrome side rails..



Oh and not forgetting a bit more speedliner on the paintwork by the fog light.




Not forgetting the 4 dents I have either side on each sliding door, but thats another story as carried out by the same company...

I estimate that its going to take me a good 2-3 days to fix it perfectly back to how is was before I took it too this place.

Not happy...

Here's a full view picture of the van for those who may not have seen it yet, before it got wrecked!....



Kind Regards
Paul

Yup they sell them here... at least I've seen them in NY and in Vegas...

They aren't very common but every couple weeks I'll see one.

And that sucks Paul! Anyway to make them pay for you fixing it?

Wow Paul, Sorry to see things like this happen. Of all people it had to happen to you...what the hell were they thinking???

I hope the shop makes good by paying for their lack of respect for your property.

If you need any help getting restitution, let me know I fly cheap.
