GTD body woes. Alignment
« on: 04 May 2014, 16:11 »
Hi,

Recently purchased a gtd, I saw its flaws but for the price and kit I couldn't say no, so here I am, looking for some advice!

Firstly

that gap... I dunno why this is there, the bonnet has been sprayed as there isvery slight clearcoat drip when I lift the hood, is this gap fixable? how much do you think I'm looking at?

also the bumper was sprayed due to stone chips but it doesn't sit right


it sort of throws the car off


any ideas on what repairs could cost?

Have you tried re - fitting the front end ? Might just of been put back together a bit skewiff.  Had to do it on mine the other day when I got it as the bonnet didn't sit right with one of the headlights and the grill looked odd. Just took it all of and on again and now it's spot on

well I've been assured it hasn't had a knock by the lease company who had the car, I've even had the car checked and no one could find any signs of damage, the bolts haven't been touched etc, but it has had a partial front respray, I don't trust myself to take it apart like my tatty mk5 daily, I might just have it sorted by a body shop even though they'll want 2-300 I guess for a perfect car it might be worth it...
