They said it didn't cause any problems but I used it as sparingly as possible
Thanks again for the good words
#62: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Tue Feb 19, 2013 2:48 pm ---- I dropped my car off at the bodyshop yesterday, to have the NSR quarter repainted. It had been done in the past as paid for by the people who damaged it, but the job did not meet my stringent OCD standards, so I am having it redone by a different repairman of my choice.
Before: [Note the poor prep work and hazy unbaked paint]
When I dropped it off he asked what I do for a living, I told him I am a valeter and I have picked up a bit of work from him so happy days. He is also painting a 180 exhaust trim for me.

glad im not the only one mate just spent a fortune getting my n/s redone thanks to the previous person making a rubbish job its amazing when you find a small area of paintwork thats not perfect how much it bugs you everytime you clean the car

I plan on keeping mine for a while you see, and had it since it was 2 years old. My car's panel was at bare metal this afternoon so hopefully should have it back Friday.

#66: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 8:43 am ---- It's back
It's not an exciting update for you guys, but I've been meaning to have it done for a year, this repair is perfect I can't fault it
#67: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 4:23 pm ---- looks good mate
#68: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Wed Feb 27, 2013 10:43 am ---- Thanks dude, just dropped some sport front wings off at the same bodyshop. He is very busy at the minute, which makes me appreciate the fact he fitted me in last week, and how well the work the has been done. There's no pressure or rush for him to respray the wings for me, it gives me time to see if I can afford tyres and hopefully get to fit the wings and wheels together.
Taxed for 6 months today as insurance is due in April, now the payments for these running costs are spread out a bit.
And I did another full clean of the 180 interior to get rid of the last bits of discolouring and smell, ready for liquid leather repair on the worn areas before they go to the retrim place. If I can get all of the above, plus some Bilstein B12 sorted before FCS I will be happy with progress for this year

#70: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:56 pm ---- My car is far from perfect but thanks for the compliment
#71: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sun Apr 07, 2013 11:11 am ---- Tyres have been ordered for the wheels. Went for T1Rs in the end due to budget, and people seem to rate them for our cars. Had some decals made up by Ste (Admin) so that I could make custom centre caps, the stickers are just waiting for centre caps that fit to come along. Here's a photo shop
Wheels should be put on by the end of the week. Then I can save my money a bit and focus on the interior project closer to July.
#72: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Mon Apr 08, 2013 7:40 am ---- wheels look great mate
where did you get the centre caps to fit them from need some for my other car and apparently the centre caps from the later superturismos dont fit
#73: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 8:57 am ---- New wheels Peugeot fwiend!
The exterior will not be deviating far from this as I want to retain an OEM look, any other cosmetic change and it may be on the verge of bad taste
The centre caps were a photoshop Matt, I still need to get some :/
#74: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Slowride, Location: Netherlands/near RotterdamPosted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 11:14 am ---- Really good looking wheels
#75: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:22 pm ---- Thank you good sir
Need some centre caps as I don't want water getting in there and making the spigot rust
