Default 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

Nice, post up some pics when you get it back. You can't beat a proper bodyshop job on a car.

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?

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.

If you plan on selling it so soon is it really worth spending more money on it?
