WOO-HOO!

I got the Merc back from the bodyshop on Monday.
Work completed in the end:

New o/s front wing
Bonnet dents pulled out and resprayed
n/s lower panels resprayed (because of laquer peel)
Boot spoiler removed, rust repaired and spoiler re-fitted
Door dings removed with paintless dent removal
Front bumper stripped and resprayed
4 AMG alloys refurbed






Here are a few more photos

Thats a nice job, well done, worth the effort.

Thanks

Thanks Patrick

Although my car went to New Image in Norwich to do the refurb, I know they send them away. I think they use Pristine Wheels in Milton Keynes. I've been told they typically take a working week.
Hope this helps!

Hopefully I'll get to see your Ford GT at a meet soon

Wow! nice job
I take it that means we wont get to hear the 'v6 howl' from the Freelander for a while
I bet Mrs Gee is rejoicing though
Bet you're well chuffed,if it's as good in the flesh as it is in those photos,i think we'll be taking the Chim for a 'front-end-seeing-to'

Oh the finish is superb! for C&S Bodycare and New Image in Norwich!
Even the filled stratches can't been seen until you're right up close, and the alloys look fantastic

Who knows Harley, I might be able to get insurance on the Freelander to another meet, just to get the noise on film

Well spotted on the location, Kev
I know what you mean about leaving your car round there over night.....Mind you, I've not had any problems so far (touch wood),when I go to the loft - I park where that multi-storey car park used to be

I await your call

Darren
