Well documented and timescales vary dealer to dealer. Mine was off the road two days but I did get a courtesy.

Yeah, i've been given a courtesy car too but i'm missing mine already and its only been 2days!!!:( I'm sure i've read on here somewhere that people have been without there car for over a week due to them having the bumper paint issue resolved!!:confused: Hope mine doesnt take that long!!

They had mine for 8 hours

My Corrida Red VRS was in just a day, not even a year old and did 17000 miles

Please correct me if i'm wrong but I've been informed that "Paint Shops" cannot "Cure" the paint on plastic panals as they cannot get enough heat into the paint for fear of melting the panal. A different processe is used at the factory....Is this correct??

Got my car back Thursday night...... what a bloody mess!!!! They got it back the Firday, still waiting for them to phone!!

Phoned my dealer today after three weeks of waiting to see what was happening and they told me that they are STILL waiting for authorisation from SUK to get the work done.

Im off on my hols on saturday for 2 weeks and they said they should know by the time i get back!!! I should bloody well hope so.

Will keep you posted.
