I do feel for you and this front grill problem could have an impact upon all of us :eusa-think: I hope they do get to the bottom of this because it definitely needs sorting out.
Hopefully the bodyshop will sort out your paintwork to your satisfaction. Don't forget to let us know how you get on.
Hi K,
The dealer will not do anything about the front grill. Their stance is that it was damaged so it is not covered on warranty. I don't agree with that because I am an automotive engineer and it appears to be more of a structural failure, however it looks like any remedy is down to me. My biggest concern is if I replace it and the same thing happens again. The grills are so flimsy anyway that I think quite a few RCZ owners will have broken grills at some point. When a grill is changed (£112 ex VAT) for the part, the three chrome strips (£42 each ex VAT) also have to be replaced because they are glued onto the grill. Plus approximately £150 labour.
I'll let you all know how they resolve my paint issues. I am hoping my car will be booked in sometime next week. A bit annoyed really as I am on holiday next week and I was planning on doing a big detail of the car. Just ordered Werkstatt trigger and gloss as you used on Pearl.
You won't be disappointed with the Werkstat products. They are so easy to use and leave a lovely finish :thumbup:
