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 Wink

any tips on getting it back to good nick as im abit of a noobie when it comes to this

cheers

if it was mine, and i wanted it looking nice, i'd get a dent puller to come round and get the car park dings etc out, then i'd get a detailer in who does paint correction/restoration to get the scratches out and the paint back to nearly new condition!

I'm going through the same with mine at the moment, was my pride and joy until I discovered a 5ft key scratch down the side, then afterwards the paint on the front bumper mould started flaking, guessing it was a DIY from the guy I bought it off before.

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 Smile
