#1: Body work Author: Silver206, Location: From Birmingham- Live in CornwallPosted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 11:26 am ---- just summing up my options really, car is 10 years old so of course the bodywork isnt going to be great, but tbh mines pretty bad. Only had the car about a month. There isnt any rust but mainly car park dints and scratches.
I got the car a bargin so i dont really mind. I have t-cuted (lightly) the whole car and im going to polish it again as soon as the weather allows me.
still in bad nik but would you guys replace the body parts with ebay bargins or just leave it....at the moment i have been leaving it mucky to hide it
any tips on getting it back to good nick as im abit of a noobie when it comes to this
cheers

I think the cheapest option is too buy the parts from ebay/scrappy, but all depends on your luck finding the bits you need in the right condition for the right price
