My cars being repaired yay

Most of u have probably seen my corsa after its had work to the front end done.

There were several problems.
1. The bumper had been sprayed the wrong black and the bumper itself was a poor fit. To make things worse i hit a nasty road hump which has damaged one of the fittings, so its not as firm as what it was when it came out.

2. The bonnet where had it had been extended and bad boyed appeared to be rusting, or the paint reacting.

So.........

Today I took it back down to BPJ Bodyworx and Paul noticed the front bumper was a different colour straight away. Had a little chat with him and he was more than happy to respray the front bumper and redo the bonnet as well. The problem with the bonnet was that it was not rusting, but the paint was blistering from a reaction with the old paint on the bonnet (this was down to a previous owner getting a poor job done when they have had the bonnet resprayed)

Because the bumper isnt the greatest fit in the world, this is also being sorted out, including being flushed into the arches which will be sprayed as well.

So Im very pleased

The exhaust is also being sorted out soon as I have a nasty blow at the mid section.

So hopefully, my car should be sorted for PVS.

no u couldnt of told me that bumper would be a bad fit before i brought it coz it didnt cost me a penny!

and the fixings have been reinforced as well so hushhhhhhhhhh

and its not costing me anything to have the work done, hence why im so happy. The only part i have to pay for is to have the arches sprayed, becuase they haven\'t been done yet
