You must know the track well?

Yeah, over 1000 laps of Knockhill in the past two years.

I got the car back from the bodyshop today as it needed a load of work done. Dents, miscoloured parts, stone chips, and a bit of rust under the rear arch liners. I put the car into ScotSpray in Musselburgh, just outside Edinburgh, and they had the car for a week. Now that this car is sorted I can get on with upgrading my 4G

I need to do a qick wheel refurb before Total Jap Car on Sunday as my wheels look jobby.

Before

One of the gashes in the rear bumper

The dent on the drivers side

The miscoloured bumper and lip

Work in Progress

Finished but still needing a clean and better pics

Off the top of my head all the bits done were:

Front bumper
Front lip
Bonnet
Side skirts
Wing mirrors
Drivers B pillar
Driver side dent
Both sides of the car
Removal of the rear arch liners, treat the small bit of rust there, pain, and seal
Rear bumper

Basically everything but the boot lid and the roof

Perfect colour match, which is far from easy on silver

Im going to do a quick wheel refurb tonight as they look awful now the bodywork is sorted

. Anyone have any good ideas about what colour to go for? It will be paint from Halfords so nothing too exotic

And I thought my colour matching was good!

Proper job well done

The attention to the bonnet looked mad!

How many stone chips! lol
