Yeah prices seems on the high side, the couple that we're up on here were exceptional quality though (from the pics). Any idea what people are asking for bog standard ones? Even if I had a rat look one, I wouldn't care!

Yeah, pretty sure that's where I found. And no one, no sign, nothing to follow up with. Haven't worked out the year of of the car, but think it will be a really interesting project for someone to work on.

Love Beetles, had a couple in my younger days, but now I would love a Karman Ghia. I probably wouldn't kill for one, maybe maim... Anyway, saw this one in Colombo, in what looks like a lock up: (Excuse the crappy pic from my phone).

Cheers euro_auto - mucho appreciated! No worries Devinda_Z, would have never have heard of him if it wasn't for you!

Need to get Interpol on the case, there's a conspiracy to keep me from finding him. Number seems to be out not connected.

You absolute star, thanks!

Cheers

Went and had a look for him on Sat but couldn't find him Is it well hidden? I found Indra traders, but doesn't seem to be a garage next to it, unless it's in the actual grounds of the car dealership?

Cheers, will check him out.

Cheers, do you know where he's based and does anyone have his number?

The name of the outfit is Arabian Motors in Colombo 10. To my knowledge they've only opened recently, so I don't know if any other members here have had good/bad experiences with them. Feel slightly down that there isn't one good garage that can do a decent spray job in Colombo. It can't be that difficult, there's so many expensive vehicles here you would have thought someone could offer a first class service.

Well after my car was involved in an accident which damaged the rear, I took it to a new garage which has opened up in Colombo which was recommended by my insurance company. I wont mention the name of the garage unless it's allowed here, but when I went to scope the place out I was impressed with the premises, equipment and their customer service. I wont go into detail about how the car had to be taken back twice to rectify issues (9 in the first time it was taken back including a huge scratch they managed to put into one of the doors), but as they wont respond to my calls for them to fix issues such as 'orange peel' I'm left with a car, which I feel is worth less than when it went in. I now need to look for another garage to fix the paint issues caused and I wonder if anywhere which is reputable in Colombo? Are the likes of Carmart or Kleenpark any good? Any help will be appreciated...

Cheers guys for your replies! Fastcar - thanks for the heads up, will give them a call if Supra_Naturals guy gives a death certificate. Supra_Natural I'll drop you a email in a mo - cheers bro!
