Put my car into a garage in Newmarket to have the rust sorted on my drivers door and bottom of off side rear wheel arch this morning, spent all day wondering what sort of job they would do on it, poped in to see how they were getting on when i got home from work tonight and to my suprise the old boy had finished it, and bugger me if it aint a fantastic job. I know silver cars can be an arse to colour match but from what i can see its near perfect, need to leave her in there until tomorrow as he is going to sort out thee black door strip bits (for free i might add). All in all a good day today :D
Just thought i would share my joy with the masses :D :D :D

cheers lads, there is a couple of scraches on the bottom of the passanger door that need attention but as far as i can see no more rust. :D i would reckon your looking between Ԛ£40 - Ԛ£100 im not really sure but they quoted me Ԛ£150 for colour coding the bumpers and wing mirors and seams there are a few more man hours involved in that. I would recomend these guys to anybody. takes a while to get a booking because they are well busy (not supprising seeing how good a job they do) but when its done its well worth it believe me i chuffed to bits. Another plus is it only took 1 1/2 days to do, i was told they can do a full car respray in 3 days painted and dry to showroom standard. that to me sounds impresive anyway gonna put her back in as soon as possible to get the bumpers and stuff done and if anybody near by needs work done go to these guys they are the best people i have been to without a shaddow of a doubt.
