PVR, hope you are sitting down for this.
Finally picked up my skirts and rear bumper from the painters this morning, and with Bing popping round tomorrow (hopefully) I started to strip the car in preperation.
So how it started off
You were only meant to take the bloody skirts off!!!!!!
The wing had taken a very slight knock from a van when the previous owner had it, I've seen the picture of the original damage and it is slight. The repair though was not up to my standard as the damage was on a crease and didn't have the sharp edge like the original. Also luckily they had only painted the wing and not blended into any other panels as the match isn't good at certain angles. I managed to locate a replacement wing that I checked the a PDG to ensure it was original paint in the hope that it would match better, which it does. Just need to put the ///M badge back and polish it up.
New wing on.
Damage to old wing. I expected to see a big lump which they had filled, but it looks as if they have tried to get the panel back into shape.
Finally, off with the rear bumper as mine had some slight damage, and give the exhausts and rear a bit of a clean up.
