This is not looking good, but painter going in at 4am to see if paint has fully dried, which as of 20mins is still 'dentable'

So needs 16 x studs fitted, shoes fitted and interior!!!!

wow, now thats customer service you don't usually see these days.

good luck, I hope your able to get it to the show.

I remember doing this for my HSC project, I didn't realise how much work was involved in painting, I kept on putting it off. I had it in primer and filled as much as i could (time permitting) then probably 4 weeks before it was due I started the final colour.. finally put the engine in and then before I knew it, amongst exams and school work, it was the weekend before it was due. just a painted shell with an engine in it. I think I managed to get about 8 hours sleep that weekend. But hey it looked like a car.[/b]

Mate, that is bad news. But it is only a little thing, MATM will be there again next year and your Mini will be all that much better for then.
Don't give up just because of one set back.
Cheers Pete

All I can say is typical empty promises in the car industry they are all the same.

Been through the same thing with the mini muster.

And you know, I seem to have this problem when they want payment first or a big deposit.

Good luck mate complain and get a deal
