Elms Boot Floor Repair

[mistergav]

Whats your thoughts on this boot floor repair from Elms? This was replaced less than two years ago and the car has covered just over 2,000 miles since then.

Its in with another dealer getting this fixed. I have reached out to Elms to get their comments, I will let you know what they say.



Looks like swarf left in the damp causing surface rust.















You can see rust starting to come thought the sealer here.

What a fcuking mess! I would not be happy with that at all. I would be expecting Elms to pay, in full, to get that sorted. Shocking.

This is why I would not want my whole boot floor removed and replaced with an identical panel that will again crack.
Plates and injection is the only safe way glad both my m3 were not cracked and when they do I will plate and foam them both.

Coming from the Lotus world as I do, I'd recommend this.

What colour is your CSL Mistergav?
I assume it is SG, so why the fook have they used black? There is overspray everywhere.

that is shit !

i had a load of iron filings in mine go rusty a few months after it was done and elms bedford took it back and resprayed it.

why is it all different colours black / grey ?

[mistergav]

The surface rust runs the full length of the boot floor due to swarf being left in there. Looks like they were even using materials not approved by BMW as it was finished in with a matt black aerosol. The dealer in Scotland wants to pull everything off top and bottom to clean and reseal the entire boot floor.

Elms are looking at the pictures now, I will see what they say tomorrow.

Its SB, must jut be the flash is catching all the different paints. :banghead:

That's totally appalling & way below expected standards :banghead: Just out of interest :whistle: was it Elms Stanstead or Elms Bedford who made this awful mess ?

Bedford

Wow !!! and I thought Elms Stanstead were inept and cock handed with this type of job :banghead:
If I were you I'd report your findings straight to the top @ BMW (GB) HQ naming & shming the before mentioned dealer.
It's the sure way to get this resolved... don't ask me how I know :whistle:

I need to give Elms the opportunity to put it right, if they don't then the fun begins.
