Title: Bumper Paint
Post by: Cliff_944 on 26 November 2012, 22:07

Had a little stone chip on the bumper.  Then all the lacquer peeled off about the diameter of a tennis ball.  It's in the dealers getting a paint job under warrantee.   They gave me a new Fiesta - make you really appreciate the golf!   :sick:

I'll let you know.  The garage was saying that and bumper scratches need touch up paint on them straight away so the damp does not get under the paint.

All sorted - as good as new...  Looks lovely again.  :smiley:

I forgot how great the car is....  I accelerated a bit fast out of the garage after the fiesta - so hit I the brakes and nearly went through the screen.  Its nice to have pedals that do things!

P.S. the dealer said he been to Spain to drive a Mk7 GTi.  He said the styling is evolution not revolution.  You only notice the difference when they are side by side.  However, he said the drive was much improved!
