Not if you go to a quality bodyshop. Go to a cheap one and chances are it will look w*nk tbh.

Very nice and very mirror-like considering how sh*t standard Honda paint finish is, orange peel all over the shop.

I passed an EG Civic like this today, full car matt black, with a flourescent green wheel and flourescent pink wheel on one side. Made me smile.

Cups come with cloaks?

Agreed, some G3 Liquid compound on a machine polisher and it will come off no probs. I've had to do this a few times on cars that have sat in our workshop/in our yard for a while ( I'm a painter in a bodyshop).

You should have put a good coat of fibreglass over the top of the holes and sanded that smooth first before you put on the filler, would give you a better result.

If you don't rough the surface up a bit first i.e using scotchbrite then the paint won't stick to it and will just flake off.

100% :(

Well that's goodbye Mr Cup tbh. Feel for you mate :( Least there should be no dispute.

Why bump a pointless old thread?

Wouldn't bother with chips away places tbh, just save your cash and pay the extra to get them done at a bodyshop. We've had a few jobs in fixing "smart repair" companies' work.

Amphasite tbh.

My mates 08 Zetec S is a lot quicker than my 1.2. Nice upgrade, I was considering maybe one of these or a civic sport as an upgrade to mine.

Just yank it. Done.

I wouldn't say it would be overly difficult, then again we've never had a monaco car in at work before. As long as the rest of the car isn't swirl city/faded you should be fine.

Very vague question, how big is the damaged area? Where on the bumper is it? Could quite easily only get the corner of the bumper blown in for about 70 - 80 quid if it's only little.

LOL I didn't think you could make it any worse but you have, top work.

The picture in this thread sums up it really. WTF.

That is spot on. Amazing stance for just springs IMO.

Best trying a scrappy if you haven't already, but yes you can get them from the main dealer. What reg plate is it? As there are 2 campus models, one which just looks the same as the mk2ph2 and one which has the number plate recessed into the bumper.

There's a wire clip type thing holding it in. You need to squeeze both sides to release it then the bulb will just slide out.

They could be using a cheap sh*t paint tbh. We have 2 paint schemes at work, one being a cheaper option, and it is absolutely useless at matching some more complicated colours like mine (gris boreal). It's extra strange because black is usually the easiest colour to match. Edit: What bit...

It's the policy holder (main driver's) no claims that are affected. Seeing as it's protected, looks like nobody is losing any NCB here.

If you don't want a replica I wouldn't bother with the rs front bumper/wings/sideskirts as that's what you'll end up with.

First one has the same crap alloys as lusty had. Second one is just, well, gash tbh.

Insurance ftl tbh, although from what I've heard Direct Line always seem to be a bit more expensive than other companies, maybe time to have a shop around?

Always thought mark 1 wings were metal?

I'll take up your offer FLOL @ that Ibiza Well, at least you've learned now ;) Rep's coming along well.

I work in a bodyshop and we certainly wouldn't risk not blending a metallic colour like xeros grey. Bite the bullet and get it done right or it will look sh*t, and as I say a lot on here, cheap bodyshops are not good bodyshops.
