    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.

    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.
