General Stone chip repair

[neil_bb77]

Been really busy at work lately so not much time with the B but have a few days off so ordered a scratch repair kit from paints 4u and thought i would have a go at getting some of the stone chips and scratches.

problem is my B is coming for 13 years old so really needs a repsray of sorts on the outside but thought this might be useful for some people with newer cars as we all know how much the B seems to attract stone chips at a rapid rate

also had a go at some on the interior door trim which is badly scratched in my B which always bugged me as i was driving along. pleased with the result so far, sorry the pictures aren't great

before


almost done


much better


you get everything you need in the kit including the mixed paint, good value i think

Looks good Neil I see you are missing the hood flap on the drivers side door piller. You can pick them up for £20 ish or £40 for the full trim cover from your local Fiat m8

I keep breaking mine... last time I went to my local Fiat dealership in Guildford they couldn't order one for me because they couldn't find a part number for it. They asked me to get the part number and ring them up to order. Surely THEY should know the number, not ME :bang:

I have numerous stories of despair with my local Fiat dealer, but I shall save them for the next Ace Cafe Rant. Does anyone here know the part number for the drivers side hood flap thingy? However, I recently went to Fiat with a part number for a Lancia Fulvia Concept model car ("available from you local fiat dealer"), and they managed to mess that up!:tosser:
