dbs turbo chin spoiler

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

Ok everyone joke and insults aside now. Dave has given you a ‘will be done by date’ which is what this thread was started for. Please lets stop passing insults and taking the piss out of each other, we gain nothing from it and all it does is create bad air on the forum which is something I’m sure non of use want.

Business is Business, if you pay for a product you expect to see results within a given timescales.

I know customer servicing inside out, and lack of positive communication IMHO is a problem for the DBS business and does potray a lack of interest to the customers, and very little customer focus.

As for Lee being a trouble maker, he has held midlands meetings at no expense to others, helped fix memebers cars at no or little expense to others he doesn't "expect a little bit of slack - for doing a favour", many a time he's bailed me out at a drop of a hat.

Get the facts right before slagging him off as your record of no results for monies paid speaks for itself at present

just right at this moment jamo - you have done what lee has done - and stuck your nose in - if you deal out , you need to take it .

i see organising a meeting compared to making spoilers completely false .

your just stoking the fire again .

ive been delayed for the need to make money so i can survive - not so i can post useless stuff about jackasses .

Listen Bitch whilst this subject is on the forum i'm free to comment, if you dont like the fact, deal with it!

I'm referring to you butting in calling lee a tit and a trouble maker, i have not mentioned SPOILERS in my post whats so ever!

I have mentioned indirectly what the MAJORITY of posters are feeling.

The fact of the matter is, you advertise via the forum then expect criticism via the forum. If you contacted the people directly then they wouldn't feel the need to post on here to get timescales.

If Dragonlord had to be reduced to this tactic to get a timescale what hope is there for other customers.

Jamo yes business is business but you deal with problems privately, I also know customer service inside out I am a retail supervisor, if someone phones up with a complaint or issue I don’t put them on speaker phone for everyone else to hear.

dbs, Jamo is a paying customer he has a right to stick his noise in.

Can we all just calm down, lets deal with this using PMs.

Ok, I think one of the mods needs to close this thread before it gets out of hand.

Relax mate, it's not like people are going to have a real fight. You should have been here in the last few years heh.

I don't agree with that. Why should it be closed? I'm sure this will relax now that dbs is giving back some info.

This thread is not out of hand, it is a discussion open to all. It will be locked and put in the hall of shame if it gets like the other threads in that forum.

OK, don't want to be a spellbreaker but let's stick to the topic. Some people wanted to know how long it was going to take before the spoilers were produced. I regret I didn't see this thread earlier, but I was away the entire weekend.

As far as I'm concerned the first person/party to turn to with these kind of questions is the person/party that produces/sells the items. I never got the impression that Dave doesn't reply to e-mail, so I believe that this should have been delt with with Dave personally. If for some reason this hasn't worked out I understand why this thread came into existance.

Now I don't want to be policing this thread saying someone is getting out of line. At this point I feel the tone is, at some points, a bit unpleasant. I just want to point out that Dave is one of the very few people around that is actually making stuff for the 480. Not saying he's a saint but I believe he deserves some slack. Important is that I don't know anything about the exact agreements between buyer and seller in these matters (and I don't want to know) but try to solve this matter through e-mails and PM's rather than in the open. I am sure that's better for everyone.

And please don't start posting that I have it all wrong etc, just keep it a nice and peacefull place here, plenty of bitterness in the world already :wink:

You are very right Daniel,

This really needs to be sorted by involved parties amicably.

well , jamo , i saw no point in your post , apart from to stick up with lee .

i was away at the weekend - hence why i didnt see it - also , hotmail was buggered , so perhaps i was late in a reply .

its one thing to criticise - but to openly slag off is not really in keeping with the forum - and i saw your/lee post as that - without even asking me the question in person before that .

And helping people here and there is all well and good - but hes got another paying job - so he really can enjoy doing it without recompense to house/future .

AND - as was before , between me and gary shall stay personal between me and gary unless he wants to post it on the forum . Bringing in outside issues does not help .
