these guys may be able to help.

Des the owner is a car guy and really helpful. They do really good work.

I'll give him a ring as well mate ?

So I went to Pro Shine today . He quickly done a bit on the quarter panel and came up a treat , so I've booked it in for march for 2 days .

Next door turned up today , turns out the company actually painted it the wrong colour and then threatened her that it's the colour they wanted. Clearly the colour is magnolia and should have been white but hey not my problem. But she quite afraid of the painter . Hmm I wonder how this is going to pan out . I'm kinda expecting him to turn up on my door this week ....

i did mention , shotgun.

    Don't worry mate , I'm good at fixing stuff ?

    We have a result

    Next door has contacted the painter and he has apologised and offered to pay for the damage. Just got to wait till march for the car to look decent again .

    Get a qoute and take the money now before he changes his mind.

    Talks cheap with issues like this.

          6 days later

          Damn this car ?

          Having a quiet beer waiting for the mrs to come home from the local shops and the clutch pedal broke . No toe rope so off to next door to borrow one . Xc is a good horse . Had a S3 years ago and same thing happened twice . Spot welds , they've broken in the same place on every one . Design fault, so I'm going to change this one but get it welded up before installing it ..

          Can it be drilled and bolted at all or to hard to get to

            13mm bolt and the pedal will come out . Unfortunately it's a common fault on this platform that the tt shares with the S3 mk4 Golf , Beatle and others. One of those stupid faults VAG came up with ..
