simeyfour Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I managed to put my 911 C4s into the back of another car on Friday. Totaly my fault and I feel very silly! Its just been taken away on a tru ck to get a quote for repair. I'm basicaaly looking for advice on what i should be looking for in terms of repair. any thing i should insist on? I'm with privilege and they wanted to take it to one of their authorised repairers. I told them i'd get a quote from Porsche and send it to them. Posche nottingham use Slebys for all their repair and warranty work. Anyone got any expeirience of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 insist on approved Porsche repair shop - otherwise you will lose your paint warranty etc they will give you a lifetime guarantee too although they are a pain as they insist you come back once a year for a free inspection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHA Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Yeah use Porsche, you wont get a car from Privilege because of this but its a small price to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Having seen said car before it was taken away to be fixed I can confirm it was in a sorry state. Enjoy the 1.1 Fiesta courtesy car fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simeyfour Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 it wasn't all that bad. They always look worse than they are. The airbags didn't deploy. Being a low fronted car it went under the back of a golf. So new bumper, spoiler, bonnet, one wing, new lights. Oh stop press... Maybe i'm wrong. Just been quoted a month for repair. Also i might add. This all happened same day the girlfriend anounced she was pregnant!!!...Guess my mind was elsewhere...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkster Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 My dad had to use Selbys in the past (Nissan) and the work was carried out to a very high standard. I have been told that the local Audi dealership use them aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Having seen the car I think it would have needed a new bonnet, full front valance and bumper, new headlights, new wings and new sill covers and that was only the stuff that was obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
