I'm in the same situation but they gave me a hyundai iconic... (From a mk6 gti). Can you reject the hire car they give you? Based on not like for like?

Going through a similar situation. I'm waiting on the bodyshop and third party insurance agreeing the cost of repair. Please keep this thread updated!

I was in a similar position to you. Mazda 6 to a mk6 gti. I agree with those saying it's old and it will feel dated. If you really want the S3 I would say go for a 8v instead if you can stretch your budget. Alternatively, golf r?

I'm teaching 9 years. Always wondered if I could find a different job without taking a hit on salary.

Thanks for the in depth reply. I have lived with it for a week now and due to extra costs I will just leave it (even though it bugs me). Advice for others - get an oem bumper!

Good to know! Oem bumper from vw was £380. Maybe I should have gone through insurance but didn't want the inflated premiums.

Fair enough. It will take me a few days to make peace with it! Thanks to everyone as I needed to get this off my chest!

Thanks for all the replies. I gave the car to them and it took 2 days. The body shop bought the paint off the shelf. Now, he was honest and said plastics do not match 100% and it did look off. I got the feeling he didn't want to repaint and wanted to blend in. Now what should I do? Tell him...

After being left with a broken front bumper in tesco's, took a chance on a plastic non oem (£100) and had it painted (£250) However, the colour is not 100% match. Garage said they would need to blend the wings and bonnet for an extra £150. I could live with how it is as I don't want to spend...

Yes, usually after eating to help digestion...

Step by step please!? Any tips? Looking to do something similar myself.

Thanks for the information! Yes it's non weight bearing on top but yes a box on the bottom sounds good. I was thinking water resistant mdf and paint but I'll look at alternatives.

Hi all, After building a shed, I now have the confidence to build a cabinet in the corner of my garage to store the hoover/brooms/etc. This is what I have in mind: Can anyone answer the following: Is a wooden frame necessary? Or can I get away with a few battens on the wall and L brackets...

As long as the water can drain away - that is the important part.

Plastic base was from ebay (ecodeck) and they were the cheapest that included the membrane. Clips were useless so I used zip ties. The shed sits on the base so the water drain below, very easy to use! I was going to get a cheaper shed (overlap) but after some reading and friends convinced me to...

Good to hear! I haven't heard anything bad so far from them.

Levelling was a nightmare. I first tried sand, got it as flat as I could, membrane, then used the gravel to get it level which was a lot easier.

Excellent, will do.

:D Ok great thanks. Definitely worth it, and easy. The hardest part was preparation.
