Nothing yet, but no news is good news - the garage said to ring next week for a progress update, but they'd ring in the meantime if there were initial problems once they got it setup on the jig. I think now we're largely over the winter and less likelihood of the council putting more salt on the roads, the bodywork on your Behemoth should have a good year. Even if you don't wash the car over the winter, a quick splash of water to remove the salt and pay particular attention to the body kit.
