I had my reading glasses on and discovered that the paintwork didn't get away with it after all. I need to take a proper light to it to inspect it closely, but I counted 8 places where paint was chipped off, two of which are down to the metal, and 6 places where the paint has been scuffed... and this is only on the boot lid. The edge of the roof near the window has 4 chips as well as a few scuffs, and the shark fin aerial has 4 cuts in it. The 'biggest' paint chips are around 1cm long.

Someone in the ordering department missed out a 'P' in mine, the P being for 'Privacy' glass, and this despite me telling them last week that the rear side and back window were privacy glass. Even though I had been watching him, and checked the new one he had on the stand, which looked tinted, I never noticed the discrepancy until he placed the old glass up against the side of the house (which is cream coloured), and it was then blatantly obvious.

Supposed to be getting a new one on Monday, and since it's not a daily driver, no real harm done.
