amazing machine

i wouldnt tackle it yourself really it is just 4 bolts or so, but it will all need altering and alligning properly. knowing what to move, where to move it and how far, it aint just a case of unbolting and bolting on plus you may have problems with the actual hinges if its bent the bodywork...

dont like

£60 is very very cheap, if you can get them done professionaly for that price id go with that

never learn unless you try

white wheels on black cars look shite. just an oppinion for ya. as for the wheels, DIY? should do all 4 with 3-4 cans (inside n out)

as leigh says, if the surface is good to paint onto, it just needs -going over with a grey scotchbrite and some panel wipe (10 minute job), -blow it off, clean it up (5 minutes) -mask up tailgate, roof, strip between the door n quarter, windows, bonnet and bumper. then bag the car up...

could do it in a day easily

yea but if you paint to the wing its just gonna be a solid edge as you gotta paint right to the end of the door, then youre just hoping it matches next time. If you prep the wing too, blow basecoat accross the side (not on the top) and then laquer the whole wing, itll still be the same colour to...

probably best painting the wing too mate and do the whole side. you'll notice colour match alot less bonnet to wing compared to wing to door as its different angles. id say £200-£250

wednesbury, west midlands i have pretty high standards yup, couple of my workmates dont. if im honest, ill look at a car and judge how good the repairs gotta be. if im working on a rusty transit van ill have it knocked off in no time, if im working on an evo or beemer, then ill take as long as...

dunno what you mean by professional, its a average sized unit with spray booth and our own mixing scheme

from what wede charge at work roughly

bout £200

any damage? new door? from £150 upto £300, dependant on damage etc can give better price with more details

way way overpriced

dunno if its the same for the mk 2 but on the mk 1, you drop the sunroof out, dry it all completely, put a bead of sealant around the window gasket and drop it back in, tightening it evenly from corner to corner side to side

no i take the price off, itll either be a sticker or a card thing that you can rip off, tags stay put ;)

good to see youre having a go yourself, looks different!

seat ibiza splitter is a common one as it matches the ph3 curves perfectly. slight modding needed (2 triangle cut outs and shorteneing both ends)

does the door look low? does the door lift up when you close it onto the catch? i dunno if theres any adjustment on the clio hinges. personally id open the door, and lift the corner from the bottom and give it a couple of bounces, see if that takes it back. failing that, drop the catch...

bumper wont need to be removed. possibly colour wont be 100% bang on perfect as itll be edge to edge on the wing, but should be fine with a polish

i seriously doubt they will pay out more because your car is black :S

i think its partially metamerism, how the paint looks under different lights, i think the plastic affects how it looks. the paint lands differently and cures differently on plastic

yup fine, just make sure you give it a good wipe off so theres no dust on it

all clio mk2 clio front ends look a different colour due to the plastic front wings, the paint has a different shade due to how the paint appears on plastic to metal. if you look at cars in your street quite a few of the bumpers will be out to the actual car too. nothing to worry about

its fine if you paint it, leave it overnight then laquer it the following day. ideally you wanna paint it all in 1 go though

p1200 you may see fine marks if you dont use a block or if you have something rounded and press with your fingertips. if theres nothing wrong with the basecoat then theres no need at all to wetflat it for laquer
