You can use that reflective foil that is used behind domestic radiators. Even baking foil will work
I thought I'd finally spill the beans after managing to upload the pic's.
Dad's already neat Selecta went to the bodyshop about 10 days ago to have all the little nicks sorted and the wheels painted up, and here are the results
We're well impressed

Superb.....Looks a million dollars!!!!
Dad's now nagging as I've still not got around to changing noisey speedo cable, sorting the slight leak in the thermostate, and two other things that I can't remember
I'll get it done sooner or later

Welcome back Plug, trust all went well in the US!
Looks absolutely mint:worship: Painting the wheels really makes it look brand new
Better than new!! Fantastic - real timewarp stuff. Can I ask if it was expensive to get it sorted (as I'm beginning to think I will never get round to doing ours myself).
Welding? How did you find it? Hard to do? Did you use a blowlamp? Got any pics?
cheers
lwm
OMG Jon, I want that Panda!!!
thought mine looked good after a t cut and polish... but now I'm green with envy... my fav colour too!
Thanks Martin.
Was £185 iirc, or it might have been less, that was for wheels (inc spare)
, a small car park dent
on drivers wing, minor scuffs on two wheel arches by previous owner, one very very small and very early nick of rust on one of the doors, Another slight mark on the other door, both doors sprayed and treated inside to help keep rust at bay, and colour sorted on part of drivers rear wing/valance where she's previously been polished to much by previous owner, lol.
Not a bad price I don't think. Good old cheap Norfolk labour. The bloke we use is really good. He's a Red Volvo 440 estate, was pink when he got it, but now like new like our Panda

Never seen a roof spoiler before. do you know where it was from?
This is an original Fiat Panda spoiler, here in the netherlands they where about £200,- at the time. so you won't see them often.
There are spoilers from other cars that are used often like the spoiler from an citroën ax I believe.

Then you should mount it up side down, in that case you can't mount a rear window wiper and it will hold water when you mount it that way.
A Fiat logo is now on the underside, where it should be..
