Came out perfect. Only problem I have is parking sensors aren’t working. I assume it because I drove the car with the loom disconnected and it’s logged a fault. Can’t hear the clicking or feel vibrations so assume it’s locked out !

I don’t have the software to check & reset fault codes. Other than that I’m very pleased with the result and god I missed my car Very Happy

Thanks man Thumbs Up

I’ll be honest when I started it I started it with the attitude of worst case I’ll pay someone else to do it. I don’t think I would have gotten a better finish by a professional. You would only know it’s been repaired it I told you and you looked for it.

Having done it I would say in terms of difficulty. I’d put it at 4/10. It’s very time consuming though. And having to put up take down a gazebo was a ballache definitely would have been so much easier if it fit in the garage ! I’ve definitely learned so much along the way.

I’m happy I got the tailgate rust bubble sorted while I was at it Bow down

That's an excellent result! You must be over the moon with that! Smile

I've never been brave enough to attempt bodywork personally.

Considering how banjaxed the panel was . I’m super happy with how it turned out . I’ve always stayed away from bodywork, if your using rattle cans probably best not to have a go. But if you have a compressor defo worth having a bash as it’s small money for paint

That is an excellent job - just wondered if you tried going through insurance or not especially if a third party damaged it?

Where did you get the paint? Current stable:

Ft paints in Coventry next day delivery brilliant can’t recommend enough !!

I got quotes for insurance - 5k plus ….

Then I’d also have to declare a non fault accident to my insurance upon renewal and get shafted …

Paint and sand paper probably came to 300quid all in

Also I got to sort out rust bubble on tailgate , along with a couple of other rust spots

I had a rat get in and eat all my centre console loom and about 5 wires in my main loom and the carpet earlier this year. I didn’t know the damage extent but new it would be big bucks so called insurers - they took it away and the king and short of it was in brand new parts it needed two looms and both carpets so they wrote it off.
I had a look around for an equivalent but there was nothing my spec so I needed up buying back from them and fixing, I got a second hand centre console loom, had the wires repaired on the main loom and some new carpets.

The worry I had was as you the premium but because people still weren’t driving much due to covid my premium actually went down! Current stable:

So had a couple of hours to spare today , the interior has been left to fester as I was busy doing the bodywork etc … well the amount of dust that was in the car did a proper clean out
