yup, will need to be wet flatted first obviously, so leave it a GOOD few hours or you'll rip the paint in the run. what colour you painted over? or on top of primer?

ahh i thought you had rust problems sorry :P, as gav says, seen a couple with modified renault 5 arches

rear arches or wings? you got rust? from renault you can buy full rear quarter panels yes for about £200 a side. alternativley you could buy second hand cut outs for about £25 and just cut out the affected areas. or you can goto a local motor spares and buy a universal arch, basically a strip...

primer is fine wet aslong as its fully dry

bumper off, turn it over, clean up the back and scuff it up with some rough sandpaper. find some plastic that will cover your holes, i generally use filler spreaders, and sikaflex (bonding stuff used in a mastic gun) the spreaders over the hole from the back. turn bumper back over, scuff up...

you got whole bumpers to paint aint ya james? i really would recommend using a bodyshop for that unless your v v experienced with aersols and confident you can get the finish you want.

pretty clueless cliokhunt. ive seen cars come into our bodyshop that are definite writeoffs and weve been told to repair them, other times weve had cars in that have f**k all damage and weve been told not to touch them as theyre writeoffs.

sums it up

i aint saying anything LOL

while respecting your opinion and your beliefs, what difference does it make structurally to take a car from factory as opposed to a factory car thats had a new bumper, new headlights, new wings and a new bonnet. what difference would there be in a crash if the parts have been swapped properly...

you can usually just bend the door back slightly at the top (by the roof), wedge something in there that wont damage the paint (bolster chissel wrapped in cloth) then a long piece of metal, put it in, take it out, bend it til you get the right shape for the inner door handle.
