I will update this thread on the outcome. Apparently they take them over to Wilko's round the corner for some of the work too.

Ok, so rim return.

Credit where credit is due, Owen & the guys did a great job, so props in this respect, great work, see pic:

Colour is called Sepang Bronze. Spot on with the colour and repairs!

The interesting:

The unmistakeable smell of burned clutch on the drive home. Hrmm. I recorded the K's on the car and it had travelled about 5 k's.

To all the garages out there, something to remember, burned clutch hangs around like cigarette smoke.

Great effort on the rim.

Driving your car without permission is essentially theft.

I take a photo of odometer and email to manager on the day I hand over car.

you need to drive the customers car 5 km to fix an issue with a space saver spare but dont bother telling the customer about it = suspect behaviour

Burnt clutch caused by Brembo conversion on my car and non-fitting space saver being dragged on the rear when trying to move the car.

Honest mistake - By all involved.

As I just said to Kym, Melthams are tops at matching paint, so don't take my unfortunate event to put you off from speaking to Owen, he is a top bloke and out to help the Perth guys with their cars.
