Hi,
Hello everyone- I am new to this forum and have a problem with my car!
I bought an 18 month old Mini from a Mini main dealer last year. It had bonnet stripes on it when I purchased it and because they had begun to look shabby I removed them.
When I removed them I noticed a line by the side of where one of them had been so I took the car to my local Mini dealership for advice.
They told me that the bonnet had been partially re-sprayed and that whoever did it allowed the paint to build up against the line of the boonet stripe. The quote to remedy this would be in the region of £500.
I have contacted the dealer where I bought the car from and they say that although they had sprayed the passenger door they did not re-spray the bonnet and therefore will not pay to get it rectified!
My question is as this faulty workmanship has de-valued the car (which incidentally I paid full price for!) is the dealer responsible for putting the fault right?
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated as I intend to part exchange it next spring and obviously the fault will be detrimental to its asking price
My question
