Where are the airbags after the repair?

ottostreet

why is the glovebox a giant hole cut in the dash?

back in the dashboard?

or in the bin...

Maybe the difference in the layout of the radio/heater controls of the two dashboards....

Go on then, tell us.

I can see why the price in the ad is 1Euro

Yawns

Showing 2 different car models in pics and claiming its the same car?

EPM

Throwing the Golf door in? Or the fact there's 2 different Coupes used?

Yawns

2 Different cars, pics taken in different places?

1 in shed, some on decking, 1 in car park with green nearby, 1 in house on floor?

Is that a Golf door? I never owned one so not too sure but I'll trust EPM.

We're all curious now

Yawns

FYI if you google his number you will get

Seems he's been doing this for a while so maybe he just threw up any old photo he took while doing the work. Is he a dodge character or legit? What the something you noticed OP?

from the pics, its looks like he just repairs the dash without putting a new airbag in, so just repairing the hole???

Exactly.... I wonder how that affects insurance?

That whole ad reminds me of something you would see on Craggy Island..

all im gonna say is http://m.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1556025 i wouldnt buy that if you ever think youll crash it

Why do you all think that he doesnt replace airbag first, then repair? I understand that the steering unit is kind of attached to the bag so fixing that is dodgy but the dash?

Yawns

+1 on the above.

How do we know he's not replacing the bag?

RandomAccess

It is concerning that the advert does not mention the car had been crashed or that the car may have had replacement airbags (being optimistic!)

I have to say that many of the cars being sold are in appalling condition.

If I remember correctly we have had a series of these cars recently,
there was that M3 that had been tarted up and was then crashed with water damage and was then given a new interior, engine, and paint job. In the ad it was described as being in perfect condition 'no stone chips'.

Then that mini convertible with massive structural damage, that is a death trap.

Also there was that guy who clocks cars who was selling cars as well.

Can we have a sticky for dodgy motors?
I think we need to lobby the RSA or someone, give them something proper to do.

Well both airbag covers seem to have no 'edges' whereby you can see the outline of the part that pops out...?
