Neil, didn't you get your car machine polished a few months back? You don't think that may have something to do with it do you?

^^^^ I don't think machine polishing will do that ? That was about a year ago now and I would of spotted it and with the lights Adi shines on it while polishing he would have certainly seen it if it was already there,
Don't know where it came from, it seamed to appear overnight  :rolleyes:










Before and after shots, don't realise how bad the paint is until the lights are shone it  :sad:

Well I picked the car up today and they have done a great job on it  :smiley:
While it was in I got them to paint the front splitter gloss black, side skirts gloss black, rear diffuser gloss black, rolled all 4 wheel arches and repainted the full car apart from tailgate and roof,
Really pleased with the results, will get some pics up when it's not covered in snow  :cry:

I asked them what was going on with the crack in the bonnet and they said it was the paint and primer that was cracked and the metal was fine, full bonnet been sanded back down to bare metal and redone  :smiley:

Bodywork now looks better than the day I picked it up  :cool:
Local bodyshop elite bodyworx they do a lot of showcars and they know what I'm like with my cars:rolleyes: so they really took their time with it, they've had it 2 weeks, all from a crack in the bonnet haha
Now it's covered in snow  :cry:

Still not decided if keeping the car or selling up ?
Either way the bodywork still needed sorting out, will get pics up once the weather improves  :smiley:
