Although it doesnt sound like the repairer is doing a very good job, at my shop we bend over backwards trying to source parts for AAMI customers. Another option may be heading to a local car yard and snapping a quick photo on your phone of the rego sticker and forwarding it to the repairer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What's the serial number on XYZ part"? If you have the car, it won't be a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it doesnt sound like the repairer is doing a very good job, at my shop we bend over backwards trying to source parts for AAMI customers. Another option may be heading to a local car yard and snapping a quick photo on your phone of the rego sticker and forwarding it to the repairer The unavailability of the necessary parts is/was causing me quite alot of distress as I paid a small fortune purchasing second hand. It is good to know this information...I have genuine DJR pods, skirts here that were painted when the car was resprayed. I later sourced fornt and rear carbon inserts from Fibresports. I guess that it may be time for a transformation and come out with some spare change...I will keep you all posted...Edited due to typo.
