The Hamann parts wasn't primed, and they were full of holes and sharp edges.

not to rag on anyone, but i have heard many bodyshops complain about hamann fitment issues and materials used. Dont know how true that is though because they are very expensive.

The parts are Original Hamann Parts. Straight from Hamann. The painter wanted to charge me twice the price for the paintjob because of the state of the parts. Anybody else with same problems??

The body shop I took my car to to have my M-tech Aero kit painted and installed mentioned that even OEM parts are never an exact fit. He was right, my trunk lid finisher is not a 100% fit. Can you imagine the fitment of most replicas if OEM is not 100%?

I am very disappointed when it comes to Hamann!
I've been looking forward to getting the parts on my car, already paid 2260 euro for them: front apron, trunk lid finisher and roof spoiler.... The bodyshop is now going to charge me for 9000 norwegian kroner wich is $1350. Twice the price we agreed to inclusive mounting of the new apron and spoilers.....
:thumbsdown:

Is there any chance you can return the parts and ask for new ones?

I think it might be difficult to return the parts... I live in Norway and the parts come from Germany. My car dealer transported them in a car from Germany. Shipping costs to Germany will be expensive....
I don't know what to do, I'm very disappointed for the moment. I've mailed Hamann today with a little hope to solve this problem.... I'm not too optimistic about it though....
