You wont be disappointed mate :no:
Just don't mention me lol i gave him a few headaches...but he was really cool about it all in the end lol
Things have changed there since i last had work done and it's for the better too :) nothing to do with quality of work more work load on Ade's part ;)
He used to get very stressed and i do believe that is no longer an issues :)
He gave me a cracking price said he would probably make £10 from this job but as I know you and Phil he'll do it cheap so thanks mate....

Good news :)
I will be using him for all my work :nod:
Gave splitter to him Thursday for him to spray went there this morning to have splitter fitted as agreed he said he'd have it ready and it was still in its plastic rapper hanging up on the wall!!
Bit dissapointed...he didnt inform me I wasted a journey and to add to it he wasn't even there had to speak to one of his work colleagues!! He arranged to do the job Monday morning I turn up and he's not there and nothings been done?? Going to give him another chance....His colleague said he would spray it today and fit it tomorrow for me so back there again in the morning!!

Really sorry to hear this Martin :(
Especially after i was the one praising him! Give him a ring before you go there tomorrow though just in case!
Sorry I didn't get back in touch with you mate - I read your message when I was in owrk and thought 'I must reply to that when I get home' . . . and then forgot all about it!
I know Ade is up against it at the mo, got some big issues at home. I know that's no excuse but it's probably why he hasn't come through for you. If Martin (the other guy) said it will be ready tomorrow then i'm sure it will be.
Hi Guys I did as Nick advised and popped in there at end of play today and he said he had problems getting the Paint and special plasticiser needed as my front splitter is polyeurethane and etremely flexible he didnt want the paint cracking a few months down the line and wanted to do it properly....he's taking my car in Thursday now to do all of the work!!
Lucky though as I would have gone there again in the morning only to have been dissapointed again So thanks to Nick suggesting I check first!!
He did say he was upto his eyeballs.....His Comms are terrible but im sure his work is fantastic...roll on Thursday now can't wait!! I'll have the splitter on ready for a few pictures with the 200sx Boys on the camping weekender next weekend!!

Hi Phil hope your well mate.......Ade told me he was spraying your Honda S2000 didn't know you still had one! Remember seeing one many moons ago in your lock up is it that one? Are you using it as your own or doing up to sell? Would be great to meet up and have a look at it...drop me a PM about the S2K what colour you having it sprayed etc etc see you soon:thumbs:

Ahh its all out now lol
So it's Phil's fault he is up to his eyeballs in it then ! lol
He did it to me when the 200 went in for paint the year before last lol
LOL Bloody Phil!!! What a pest!! LOL
Martin - Ade just rang me to say that he's painted your spolier but because of what it's primed with when supplied it's all reacted so he's gonna have to do it all again. Problem is it's not gonna be ready tomorrow. He did say that he'd give me a bell when it's ready so i'll let you know.
I had mine resprayed in the standard grey when I had it repaired to tidy it up - car looks mint now. Will be up forsale shortly.
Hi Phil .....yes went there this morning and he had tried spraying straight on to the black plastic?? I thought you had to grey it first as in primer it?? Thats what has happened to all of the other things I have had sprayed in the past spoilers etc etc??
Bit dissapointed with him to be honest seems like he isn't really bothered I asked him to take my number and ring me when he has sorted it but he said he didn't have his mobile to take my number!! and to make it worse wrote my number on a dusty car window using his finger which no doubt dissapeared because he has not rang me back today with an update!
Was hoping to have this spoiler done for the Pembrey meet!! and you would have thought handing it to him last thursday the job would have been done by now!
Really pist off!!!
Still not done went there today and its sat there on the floor half primered!! he's had it two weeks tomorrow now!
