This is so childish. It reminds me of kids at primary school.
Brains will give you a reasonable chance of restoring a car. Fit parts then paint. Pay $60,000 for your resto, not $1000 for a super cheap welder, compressor and super cheap thinking and la |

I bought a set of tyres for my car last week. The retailer put 15" tyres on my 14" rims. I questioned it but he said he couldnt be arsed, and besides, everyone knows none of his tyres fit real well.
Then I went and bought some light globes for my loung

And where else do you think you are you going to be able to buy the broad range of RS items?
I rest my case your honour.

Hi Guys.
Im with Peter Smol. How childish is this. Life is too short.
This sounds more like another get rich quick scheme by a lawyer.
Is it any wonder that most people perceive the average lawyer as somewhere between a child molester & a politic |

Im with Pete and Dr Terry. And let me add that anybody who sits back and looks at what they are doing can properly fit a Rare Spares part. Its those who think they know it all and expect everything that make stupid mistakes as pointed out in Peters rep Edited by user Tuesday, 6 January 2009 5:57:25 PM(UTC)

is this class action about money? ...OR...is it about trying to force them to reproduce a correct quality part?

I used a rare spares badge on my bonnet once, yes it was not perfect. Holes did not allign, so I modified the badge to suit.
Are you trying to get your money back?
Are you trying to get them to pay for a respray to fit their badge?
Are you just t

Ive purchased genuine parts that dont fit properly. The moulds got tired, things didnt align properly, geez there was even an allowance given to dealers with WB statesman at the end of the run to repair them from new.

I think we are lucky to have a company like Rare Spares to reproduce parts like badges. Try getting Chevrolet Camaro badges and you will see how very hard it is. Toolmaking in this country is a dying art, one of the reasons I got out of it, and skilled up

You got too much time on your hands i think. I congratulate Rare Spares for there great service. I wonder if Chip Foose gets taken to court because the car he modified for someone that the badge didnt fit 100% but still looked great on the car.
