Trust me, the front bumper has taken the worst of the hits. Looks like its been sand blasted. In places it is really rough and the are some lower lips scrapes where the previous owner couldn't drive.


For black paint - I know I am not going to be popular but it looks a bit flat to me. Still lovely car all the same.

It is flat mate. I took it to a paint expert on Sunday morning and he mopped two sections of the bonnet to see the condition. We have agreed a full front bumper respray inc the front silver grille surround same colour and coat with the hardest laquer on the market (apparantly 40% harder than most of the laquer that paint guys use). He said it's very new to the market but has had rave reviews in the middle east. Also i will replace the front bumper strips with new ones on completion. He is going to get his bodywork man to come round the same time and pull 3 tiny dents from the drivers door. He is going to paint a 2" scratch on the passenger door and fully mop the entire car followed by as much Carnauba wax as i can apply. He will then assess the condition of the front bonnet, but at present we are both in agreement that it may need to be removed and properly painted in a body shop and baked.

Most of the work will be done at mine under cover.

The price is right so i just gotta give him some dates. I may tie the bonnet respray in with the wheels refurb as the car will be off the road for a week.

Would be interested to see how the black bumper comes out with the harder laquer as my front splitter/bumper gets chips on it so easily and I'm about to respray it again,

Looks lovely though in black!!

Rinsed, snowfoamed, rinsed, Washed in Megs Gold class, dried, mopped with megs paint cleaner, mopped with Auto glym super resin polish then hand polished once over with Blackfire ice. Finally, masked off ALL trim and treated with Megs Trim restorer, tyres treated with two coats of Megs tyre gel.

Ok ladies. Picked up car late last night as painter had a powercut just before he started spraying (luckily) which set him back a few hours. All that remains to do is a wax as he never had time to do it. I am really pleased with the front grille. I asked him to spray it the same colour and i think the results speak for themselves. Opinions greatly appreciated.

Bonnet, entire front bumper and blended lightly into the wings.

Found out something interesting. The bonnet skin is Aluminium! I didn't know that! Thought it was pressed steel.

I also replaced both bumper corner mouldings. I asked him to leave the old ones off so i could fit the new ones when i picked her up.

Pay attention dear Sir!! Look back further in the thread and you'll see. The rear end was replaced last May so all i need is a piano to fall out a window on the roof then i will be sorted! Other than that she's in very good nick. Got some minor carpark dings to remove from n/s (not my fault - previous owner) and then get her detailed. Wheels are getting done next along with minor dents.
