Hi guys,

following a pretty hefty accident and repair i've noticed that my door allignment is out by about 8 mm. None of my friends of family can notice it but i can and it pisses me right off, almost to the point where i'm tempted to just buy a new FR.

Has anyone else had much experience of repairs? should I complain to my repairer? and can anything likely be done about it?

your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Was it a insurance job? Id first go back the where it was repaired, see if they are willing to sort it, of not and it was a insurance job, id ring up your insurance and tell them you are not happy with the repairs done.

u may have a problem tho, if u signed upon collection :(

i had a problem with one of my previous cars, i realised they had painted inside the wing and cud see the difference wen u lifted the bonnet...when i went back, they said id inspected on collection, and signed...but i didnt see it then

good luck tho, im sure some are more understanding than others

I was pretty careful not to sign anything because it was raining and i couldn't view it properly. Cheers for your advice guys, i'll get in touch with the repairers tomorrow i think.
