Hi all, that's my touring finally finished. I took it back to the garage as too much roughness plus the dents were still there. Polishing made them stand out more. When I took the touring to the Ayrshire meet the paint was very flat. My thinking was it just needed a good bit of detailing. Then the bumpers were painted in a slightly different shade if burnt orange. Grrr but as I had gaydon to attend I had to leave it as was. So went in again when I got back from gaydon. Full car smoothed down again with the rear badge delete tell tail circle gone, dent in bonnet fix properly and rear tailgate fixed. When I was polishing the car at gaydon I noticed the mirrors had silver still coming through. So garage under no illusion that I was happy and given a week to sort. And here she is http://s786.photobucket.com/user/Honeyman328/media/F5C9D178-CF57-45D1-B487-25A82F321600_zpsuwyiokih.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s786.photobucket.com/user/Honeyman328/media/F8C62D04-67CE-4315-8182-4C08EBE13A97_zps1osmmoo0.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s786.photobucket.com/user/Honeyman328/media/C2725E1F-4AF0-424B-84FA-8C18243F4E49_zpspf3c8vu3.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  the car has had a quick wash but nothing else as the paint hardens. It looks cleaner, has a better shine to it. I am much happier now. Dents gone and mostly smooth now. So will give it a few weeks before a machine polish. There is still a trace of reaction on the nose cone and a couple of paint spots on the roof but I am still extremely pleased for the £550 spent. That included door sills and boot. Now on the hunt for some better winter wheels ------------- Now - e36 328 touring, e34 520 saloon Previous - e36 328 sport |
