Dropped off the car at the bodyshop thismorning.
Been putting it off since I purchased the car last year and ended up spending money on other parts for the car.
Its gone to a reputable bloke not too far from where I live - a few of the lads into cars close to home have work done by him and its spot on.
Its gone in for a front bumper spray, front wings, rear bumper re-spray along with the sideskirts along with all carpark-dings pulled.
It was just generally untidy with little scratches and scrapes everywhere, which has put me off waxing the thing as often as I should. (my previous cars got waxed almost fortnightly)
Looking forward to getting it back already, iv hired a car for a few days for work - an automatic Corsa which im bored of already.
Will post up some pictures when shes back, heres a "before";

. I had laquer peeling off from what was obviously a quick repair job, probably by the finance company who sold the car to the dealer I bought from (indy). I was fairly pleased with the results but burnt through the laquer with the polisher on a couple of edges...doh! I was using 1k laquer as it's half the price for twice the amount of 2k. If i was to do it again, I'd build up the 1k then finish off with a 2k layer. The panels are slightly darker than the adjoining doors but it's not obvious, being dark, pearlescent blue. Hopefully, when I run the polisher over the whole car the gloss will minimize the tonal difference. I read that silver is the hardest colour to match so don't think I would've attempted it with your car, Alex, especially as yours is just the usual wear and tear.
