So let me get this right, you have just spent £4900 on a car you will be selling in 6 weeks that you will be lucky to get £2k for? They do say a fool and their money is easily parted...

ace vauxhall are now being inspected by trade and standards so im not arsed already have civil claim lined up for the sum of £4657 including travelling , solicitor and lost earnings , so either way i get my money back
well done mate, with that money take it to Dave A to sort all out and getting it fitted well!

Its threads like this that makes me think everyone should do their own conversions.
It isn't hard even if your a beginner.
A few mates, and a few days, and its all in.
Then you know EXACTLY what you did(should you ever need to troubleshoot the wiring etc), you learn stuff(which is always handy), and you save a shit load of cash in the process.
Its rare to come across a straight, good honest company nowadays tbh, most just want your cash, and thats it.

Although on many levels I agree with what you have posted, it is wrong to label most companies like that. Hell, I am only an individual and I think I have one of the top 5 selling ratings on MIG? Some guy didn't receive a rocker cover I posted, so I checked on the senders (Royal Mail) T&C and they only class something missing after 15 working days. I said if he hadn't received it on the 15th day then I would refund him and chase the claim myself. 90% of people in this country will not do that as they immorally think that if they have posted it that is the end of their moral duty, however they chose the intermediary party.

Exactly, talk about a waste of £4900. Hopefully he won that bet for the same amount with the guy who came second on the 'worst styled Corsa?'
