Cup vs Motorbike :(

[Tez.]

Being a biker and a Clio driver this saddens me .

Glad everyone is o.k and glad your getting the Clio back just goes to show its not always the car driver at blame.

Small world, I work in assessing and I authorised the work to be done on your car. Guy at the garage said it was mint.

Wow. That is a small world

Well thank you very much.

The car is in seriously good condition and has had a lot of time and effort put into keeping it looking as mint as possible.

Yeh yeh, your hilarious. You got the lard or pedal power?

Glad you've got it back Emma!

Was kinda expecting them to miss the stickers as well.
I went to order a pair for mine once the front was painted and found they are £13 for a pair!
I made my own...

Glad it's fixed and didn't get written off

What stickers are we talking about? You've lost me?

Glad you've got it back ok.

Theres two little black stickers on the bumper that are normally missed when the bumper gets resprayed.

 

[Ollie82.]

Yeah that's £13 with some discount!

Im actually going to make them and start selling them myself I think.

All depends if you inform your insurer. If it all goes via the third party and your insurance company don't get a whiff of it then you can get away without being stung.

There was no doubt of liability it was all done through the other parties insurance, still have to declare a non fault claim come renewal though. It would be cheaper if it had been my fault.

So I thought I'd update with a few pics of my Cup being back to its former glory after a quick wash after a bird decided to commit suicide on my windscreen and the body shop finally putting the bumper stickers on

So more bloody paint work required because some plank can't control a trolly. At least it's only the side strips so easily sorted.

Result looks great! That 'scratch' can be polished away i think?

Tbh it probably could be. Strangly enough the car is being machine polished next week. They are looking a bit tired now though so I'm just going to get them resprayed I think.

ah well if it's free and they deliver a good job then why bother to polish eh

 

[Emma.]

Free, I wish. The fool that did it did a runner. I think it's roughly £40 from spray shack to respray the side stripes

The reason they look 'tired' is because they're not lacquered. For that reason it'd be a job to polish out.

Car looks smart once again

 

[Emma.]

I sprayed them myself about 2 years ago and only used a small amount of lacquer as I liked the oem matte look of them.

I think shiny is on the cards for a "freshen up".
