So - my car is 9 years old, whilst being in very good nick, it does have the usual stone chips etc on the bonnet and bumper, and a small scratch on the drivers door.

I am not too fussed about the bonnet, may get a carbon one as they are less expensive than i had thought, but i want to get some or maybe all of the bumper resprayed and the small scratch fixed. I want the car to look mint, the rest of it looks great.

Do any of you guys know anywhere around here that can be trusted to do a good job with Marlin Blue? If not local, anyone know anywhere around the south west/midlands?

Cheers :thumbs:

If it's only little bits it might be worth trying http://www.chipsaway.co.uk/repair/index.asp

I'll also get the number of the bodyshop my bosses use for their Jags/ Bentlies/mercs etc. tomorrow. (top quality work)

the vents are a little rough due to the diy nature, but the bonnet is in good condition and you get a free silvia shield :) would look hard as nails painted black IMO on your colour!

Sorry - just to check, when you say "you can have mine" do you want cash for it or can i really just have it? :)

Cheers for the offer mate but i think ill put the £100 towards either a carbon bonnet, or just respraying my old one :)
