Default My car is going......

..... To the garage for a COMPLETE MAKE OVER!!!

Going in tonight, and when I get is back, its going to be all shiney and fresh with NEW paint, and best of all no scratches or dents!! YAY!!!

Even though mneame tried his hardest to get the scratches out, they were really too deep, and since they were across ALL one side, and the bonnet, the whole car is now having a complete re-spray!!

Not sure it'll be be back in time for next Posers, but I will be going to next one once its done to show it off!!!

Looks like it may be staying for a little longer
Hence my "Alloy wheels" post, thinking of putting it back to completely std!

I'm keeping with the original (fastest) colour... BLUE!
There is no point selling it in this market, as it won't get anything, so I should keep it for another year propbably and then see how things go.

I'm taking it to a company called Prestige Bodyworks. Really nice peeps in there, and I have used them before and really happy with the results! If you want a quote I can give you their number?

Thanks 53WRX, I have already spotted the first ones, and have a watch on them!!
The garage is hopefully going to replace my fogs with the covers and also replace one of the wind deflectors (car wash people lent on one and cracked it!!) as I can;t find them anywhere!!

Should be nice Em. And getting rid of those alloys can only be a good thing.
