Title: going to sell my car - should I fix the paintwork first?
Post by: Wurzel on 03 June 2010, 21:41

I'm not sure what it's worthwhile doing. It's an S-reg 1.8 non-turbo, done 82000 miles. But some annoying paintwork issues:

First, some scrotum keyed it on one side:

Secondly, front bumper pain flaking:

Thirdly, bottom of front nearside wheel arch:

I agree with Rich, going to cost £££'s to sort all that out you'd never get your money back when you sell the car
