Damage and quote

[The Bumblebee]

Last week, I manage to put a hole (golf ball size) in the underside of my Elise, just under the bottom left corner of the numberplate. Been quoted nearly £400 for repair, more than £300 being labour. Really gutted.

how did you manage that then?

Is it on one of the front sticky-out "chins"?

You should be able to locally repair that for around £250, I've done the chins before for this sort of price ;-)

Do you know any boat repair shops?...they are highly skiled with fiberglass and can do the job cheaper than car garages

[tnjj]

i went into our local dealer the other day and was just looking at all the cars they were servicing!

there wasn't one which had not had repair work to bottom of the front clam! and to be honest the standard of repair wasn't that impressive either! only when you looked hard tho!!!

If you do get it done professionally make sure especially if paying a lot that the repair is un-noticeable!

Post pics - maybe a splitter might cover it up........
