| Car Will be looking Mint After Next Month! Car's in the Shop getting the Wheels Powder coated and it's going into the body shop in 2 weeks time to remove the dents and scratches from the Body of the car, as Chips Away would have just re-sprayed the scratches so I managed to get it abit cheaper from a body shop.
Now there's only 2 small dents and about 4 scratches throughout the whole car and once this is finished, the car will be in mint conditon and I'm quite impressed by this as it's a 15 year old car |

| Re: Car Will be looking Mint After Next Month! Nice, post up some pics when you get it back. You can't beat a proper bodyshop job on a car.

| Re: Car Will be looking Mint After Next Month! Bet you cant! wait I need to book mine in for a tidy up sometime. Would it be too rude to ask much you've been quoted for tiding the bodywork?

| Re: Car Will be looking Mint After Next Month! Got the car back this morning  I'll get the pictures up tonight after work!
Loz - Quoted £100 to touch up the car. The two small dents will just pull right out, which is a really good price as Chips Away quoted £80 per panel  ..... Total = £320 at least!
I forgot about the Car Spat's, they're needing more work due to the cracks from pot holes so in total will be £200 from the bodyshop. |

| Re: Car Will be looking Mint After Next Month! If you plan on selling it so soon is it really worth spending more money on it?
