hey,

over the last week ive managed to spray the grill surround black magic and lamin-x the headlights and foglights, looks nice and dark from the front now

pics below

annoyingly though i managed to scrape the side of the furby on a gate round a really tight turn :( what kinda figure is this going to set me back to get it touched up? also anyone know any good places for it around north london (potters bar) ?

p.s. sorry for the dirty state of the car

cheers

sounds good, he's reasonable i presume? whats the address/number/company name?

what kinda rough price would you think he would offer, i also have a couple of tiny touch ups which ive been meaning to do since i bought the car... so would prob take a day or two to finish..

Works for Motorcare in Tunbridge Wells - high end bodyshop.

Not sure what he'd charge, not a massive amount, I can show him the pictures and get him to PM/call you etc?

sounds brilliant mate, yea if you could show him and then drop me a PM then that would be awsome, ideally id like to find out a rough price before i embark on the over an hour trek btw im a student on an extremely tight budget!

I have a similar scrape on mine driver side rear, I'd love to get it sorted as it's just about the worst

bit of damage on the car. It's not as obvious as the OP's but I reckon his wouldn't look so bad after a good t cutting,

mine looked worse before I gave it a going over. Annoyingly mine happened after I had paid a deposit but before I paid in full and took the car away. :(

I just took it on the chin but a year later it's starting to annoy me. I'll post a pic tomorrow but if you could ask for us please Adam

as I don't want corrosion setting in on a wheel arch or it'll keep coming back. So far with liberal coats of wax I've managed to keep

most off the water off of it I just want to avoid bodging it up with a touch up pen, something tells me I'll make a pigs ear of that

liking the lights...gun smoked? What size and where can I get some? :p Were they hard to fit?

yep gunsmoked indeed, type lamin-x into google, top guys ordered it and it came really fast (even though i picked second class!) they even supplied a stanley knife and application tool, and its really easy to apply, comes with instructions.. but tbh its really simple (peel plastic off paper, place on light, use tool to apply and remove bubbles then cut where you want and jobs a goo'un!) it's really as simple as.

the only thing im doubting is the visibility from the lights in winter but its completely legal and havnt had any probs at night so far so i'd give it a good thumbs up.

any probs drop me a PM and ill give you any advice/details, even help you apply if your near!

good luck

Hello Mr Silppyfist ouch! you told me the scratch isnt 'that' bad! lol I suppose it hasn't dented too badly.. Im guessing your back home now lol, you back in uni area anytime soon? can have a go on my car to see where your next student loan can go to

Ad Lav - you from Tunbridge wells? ever noticed a black t-sport with silly exhaust, blasting around at silly speeds around town? (a friend, not me btw.. but I visit often, in fact I visited this evening)

Mr Slippyfist and Grrr666 will ask for you both when he's back from holiday!

JLneonhug - I have seen that car driving around

Might have seen you too if you came along pembury road at 6.15 ish last night as saw two black Fabia vRS's!
