They ended up fitting an incorrect piece (wrong colour) and then writing it off a few weeks later to fit the correct one, because the MoT was due and they didn't fancy the bill for hiring me an equivalent car.

That's somewhat ironic, as literally minutes ago I booked the car for it's MOT here. However, due to the 'idiotic' nature in which MOTs are carried out in Northern Ireland, (I just discovered) there is a now an 8-10 week backlog. The MOT expires on the 10th August and the first date I could get was 21st August, with the next closest dates being the second week in September.
