Show Us Your Motors!

I think the wheels look good, and suit it better than some blingy thinner-spoked black and diamond cut style, or something similar which might otherwise look more at home on a hot hatch than a more grown-up estate.
 


She's back!

Had the MPS for a year now. It was a low mileage car, great service history, great inside, but... Paintwork wasn't that great. On the other hand, the price reflected this. Patched up what I could in the mean time, knowing I had a Coventry to Thurso trip in mind. That added over 1450 miles in less than a week! Then we went to Minehed with the kids. So I left any paintwork till this month.

The car was quite a mismatch of colour. Mainly bumpers to panels. Front end was chipped to hell. So, using a body shop I trust, They've sprayed the bonnet, front bumper, rear bumper and boot. Of course this all need blending too, which they have done a superb job of. Also, sprayed my wing mirrors and inside of the scoop a new colour.

This colour car is a nightmare to work on. This place has done it proud! It honestly looks like a new car.

Looks great.

Do you mind me asking where you had the work done and how much it was roughly? I need similar and am just down the road from Cov.

Manhattan Motors in Earlsdon, Coventry. Speak to Andy. He really knows his stuff. It was £1100 all in.

Edit: Some might gasp at that, but remember this was a multi coloured car with one of those really difficult colours to work with. Plies the other extras I wanted doing. One of which was the inside of the scoop, which doesn't come apart. So had to be sprayed via the opening.

Will post up some more pics tomorrow.
