Front end was covered with stone chips and had a small chunk missing from the bottom where i met a kurb doing a turn in the road.
all repaired and rubbed down(forgot to take before shots)


all primed up with glasurit black primer to make coverage easier



all rubbed down and ready to paint

painted





will get more pics when its clean, probably do the doors next as they have some chips and then might aswell do the rear

someone has scraped one so that needs doing and they love to try and catch the stones, gonna get some armourfend for the edge i think, they come off easily, one screw in the doorshut, think there is one in the vent and then take the rear arch liners out and there is two on the inside.

i know its all one piece the clam but is there anything special about removing it?

never really looked, i know i have got a yellow one in 2nd week in jan now so may take that off.

i presume its a few bolts on the hinges at front that make it tilt up?

the front bonnet is on a hinge but this can be left on as it helps alignment when putting it back together, there is a few bolts behind the headlights, four under the bonnet 5 underneath and 2 in each door shut, is a two man job though
