And yes they use genuine parts and I also know that this useless VW dealer (cough cough Austral) use this repairer to do their work. I'm not one to promote, but I've used these guys 3 times now, and they always do a brilliant job and have come in cheaper than AAMI recommended repairers. Considering there are always audi R8s and porsches sitting in the yard, I'm confident they know what they're doing. So once again thank you Shipstone at Windsor.

    And I don't know how we got onto Macs, but I own a Mac and they ****e all over PC's. I'm also about to get a new smart phone, but won't be touching the iphone with a 10 foot pole. It'll be a Samsung Galaxy S on Android for me thanks...
    What is the name of the smash repair guys?

    I just updated my android to Cyanogenmod 6 (Froyo) and it's unreal.

    That's good to hear Fitting's pretty easy if you wanted to save a few dollars.

    i watched my smash repair guy just yoink the inside panel off, detach the wiring, and yoink the mirror off from the outside.

    took all of 2 mins or something. same to replace. fits just like stock, all electrics working fine.

    Yeah exactly, I basically had to remove the whole thing to change my indicator lense. It's a bitch of a job, but it's doable.

    i think it very much sums up contemporary australian society in a very generic, on-the-surface sense.... no respect.

    obviously not to say that all, or even most, aussies are bad, but how many times a week do we need to see **** like this (be it here, or talking to someone who knows someone who got unjustly treated in some way) before we can acknowledge that hey, maybe people dont have respect for each other here, like they do in other places...
