Day1

dropped car off at 8am Monday, started stripping it apart, went off to the gym till 13:00, then headed back up garage, and the car had already had its dents sorted and sanding commenced.

At around 3, everyone stopped and we had a bbq in the carpark and some got slightly drunk and went off to town and come back with 6 bottles of laurent perrier champagne, they had polished off 10 bottles whilst in town aswell Laughing

NO further work was done to the car

Very nice, what was the reason for the repsray, car was a bit tatty? Looks like a pro job was done on it, is the finish perfect?

James_TypeR

It had a few dents on the bodywork from cars opening doors onto me etc.... finish is absolutely perfect! cant fault it!

the two buttons on the dash next to the bright switch are the individual buttons for the rear doors to open

James_TypeR

Update!

What you think???

or shall i leave them black to break it up a bit?

Soulgirl

Superb Very quirky without rear door handles - I like that a lot. The paint job is certainly smooooove D:
