Hiya Chaps,
My 206 has had a number of imperfections since I got it, and where they don't really bother me enough to pay someone to fix them, I fancy giving it a go myself, and I figure I can't really make it any worse 
I'll attach a bunch of pictures, I guess what I'm after is how to tackle them!

Some of them will need filling and sanding down and then respraying, unless your any good at blending paintwork you'd be better off getting a pro to sort it out

frankie is right. although i know what you mean with it feeling like you cant make it any worse but trust me as a sprayer, you need to sand down pretty much the entire rear quarter and the door. then its a shed load of filler and prime and then blend the paintwork and finally relacquer the areas that have been painted. if you get it wrong it WILL cost you a hell of a lot more than if you just took it to a body repair centre .

Just some touch up paint will make a lot of them a hell of a lot better.
