    Oooh v nice. Who's the body guy. As you know we get MOT'd in your village (despite the 2 hr run out lol) & store locally. The front panel is about to loose a big chunk of filler.....

    RMB accident repair, Ross is excellent at his job, don't know how many more of these he will want to do though, he normally does new/virtually new stuff.

    Cheers @pkrboo , well filler, metal & paint is just that isn't it lol.
    We've got a guy down our way, Matt at M.J.Fahy in Long Eaton but it's always good to have options...;)

    haha, that's why ours is deteriorating. I can have a crack at most things but bodywork is a black art. Big respect to all the welders, fabricators, sprayers & old buffers on here:D

  15. great that they managed to work around your stripe - would have been a shame to lose that.
     
  16. He wanted to take it off and get it remade as he doesn't like painting up to stickers really, but I said I didn't mind.

    I am sure at some point I will have ore paint down so will get the stripe remade and done again

    Perfect paint match I think, once the rest has been washed and polished up it won't look too out of place I don't think.
