went to the garage today to get my lowering springs fitted.
pick up the car, looked good.
drove to a mates house then looked at my boot and..
massive dent in my boot.
went back to the garage and kicked up a fuss, they just said the usal
"it could have been like that when it came here"
"someone else hit it when it was parked outside"
after a while of argueing things were getting pretty heated, so they gave me half the money back that i payed to get it lowered (£40)
knowing theres nothing more i could do i just took it.
anyone know any good dent places?

you miht struggle to get that dent just popped out, looking at it, it looks like its creased, had that problem on my clio, 2 tiny dents but because it had a crease all the garages wanted alot lot more, was cheaper for me to source a boot from a scrappy
or on the other hand, just another good reason to get a smooth boot skin and smooth ya boot
oh and the garage, im sure you could put a nice little dent in some of there cars hehe, i love payback

yeh i hate cheap garages.
any reputable garage would have just said "sorry mate, we dented your car"
how much would smoothing the boot cost? tbh ive not reealy got much money because i start uni next week.
so the dent will proberly remain there until christmas
