    and now you hope that they can get the finish you desire.....mine will be going in shortly to have the damage the van driver did sorted, whilst its there I'm thinking of having the rear quarter done and a few little touch ups, just to see her tidy though next year

    we're only a few weeks away from hibernation time for the Gul, will give her a quick claying, and good polish and wax before she goes away for the winter, if I'm lucky the damage should be fixed before she goes away, If not it can wait till next year and get her sorted in april ready for the summer, I am considering putting the air-con back into this car as I have all the parts from my green one and the v70 I broke, I'll just pick the best bits, shot blast them and paint them up as it's been a tad warm riding around in her just lately.
