back in 01 i got a new triton 4x4 work ute....had it two weeks and a young bloke cleaned it up....t
the kids father asked me to get some quotes because his access was $1700,

got 3 quotes from loacal smash shops and they were between $3200 and $3900,......so being so much i put it through my insurance and they sent me to their own repairer.
picked the ute up a few weeks latter and to my suprise the grill was colour coded white... the guy there says "we painted your new grill because the apprentice had chucked the old smashed one and we couldnt remember if it was white or black"......drove off happy.

about 3 weeks latter i was rear ended on pennent hills road and it pushed me into the car in front.... the grill was my old one repaired with bog as was one of the front gaurds.... the bumper brackets were my old one just bashed back into shape .
i had a spew about it and the repairer told me he had to do the job for less than $1600

he is no longer an @#$% approved repairer anymore
