Back from the bodyshop, exterior spruce up of the old girl..

As she is now just 10 years old I thought I would treat her to a birthday present and get the bodywork tidied up.

I had a fair bit of work done to the old girl to bring her upto par and she's now spotless. The bodyshop did the following to a very high standard and would really recommend them. (Absolute body repair Colchester)

I'm very picky when it comes to paintwork but these guys got it spot on, bang on colour match (silvers not the easiest) no fish eyes etc in the paint and most importantly the car came back as clean inside and out as it went in there. Very reasonable prices too.

They did the following:

Repainted front wings, bonnet, front bumper, passenger door, upper rear tailgate (new one supplied)

Colour coded the front grille, side vents, bonnet scuttle and door mirrors.

Fitted new foglights, side repeaters and new door rubbers all round.

Brand new L405 alloys and new Pirelli scorpion tyres fitted, new centre caps and wheel nuts .

New titanium silver badges and tailgate strip.

I also fitted a dateless plate to remove the 55 reg from her. Many people can't believe she's ten years old

Sorry my pictures are not the best they were taken on my phone

Thanks for the kind comments guys she is my pride and joy Very Happy I would have liked to have done the 10 conversion also but had to draw the line for this year on cost as spent quite a bit already getting her upto my standard.
