All booked in for the 21st (first suitable day for both of us).

Good news is I can’t see the scratch in the rear view mirror. Just drove to Knaresborough and back and I have to say, coming back in Sport mode was a blast. Love it!

Well it went in today. The paint defects are sorted brilliantly and the scratched on the rear screen can’t be fixed so they are replacing it.

Very pleased with Lawton’s of Tadcaster. Mind you it’s my third motor in a row from them. I guess they owe me 😉

All sorted today. New rear window. Hopefully no leaks when it rains 😱

Nice to have a clean rear screen 😂😂

Just give the car a quick clean this morning and have noticed yet another paint defect on the o/s rear door.

It’s like the paint has run slightly before setting.

It’s the same door as the one with the paint blob on it (which has been sorted).

Another trip to the dealership I think. Hopefully they can level it off.

Obviously the spray robot must have had a bad day.

Mine has a mark on the roof which in certain lights it looks like a dent , had a really good look and I think it is like a swirl in the paint, can only see it at certain angles in bright sunshine so not too worried.

I’m not too worried either but if they can buff it out like they did with the blob then I’ll be happy. I thought it was a dent at first but on close inspection it’s definitely just a poor spray job.

The dealership have been great so far to be fair to them.

Makes all the difference if you have a good dealer
