Future of my clio..

[henryp]

Okay, so my car looks untidy.. I keep her polished/waxed and the inside is very clean.
But.. Stone chips.. on a Monaco.. it makes me feel sick.
I want to get they chips done. but they're all over. Front bumper, Bonnet, Front arch and rear bumper. Mainly on the front bumper.. but whatever. They're must be AT LEAST 30. I want to get them fixed, but it could end up costing a lot of money.. money which could be spent on another car..

So my options in my head are;
- Keep Clio, get stone chips sorted so it will look as sexy as when i first got her.

- Save the money, buy a Integra dc2? or even in a year or two Evo5?

I'm really all over the place with what to do.

help

surely if you get it painted, the stone chips will rack up again lol,

and an integra dc2 and evo5 will both have stone chips also,

cars get stone chips, theres no way of getting around it, other than not owning a car im afraid.

[henryp]

Just ignore the stone-chips, and keep the 172.

 

[James.f]

cant you get a ffilm that goes over the panels that stops stone chips etc?

 

[aaronjohn86]

Yea you can get a film made up to stop stone chips on the front part of your bonnet, not seen one for the bumper though...

 

[TimR26]

I know the feeling, my front bumper and bonnet has quite a few stone chips. If you look at other Clios you'll realise its just normal but they show on Monaco more. I'm going to get mine resprayed so it'll look factory fresh again. Nice colour by the way

 

[henryp]

Yeah i'll fork out few hundred to get it sprayed up so i can love it even more without having to hide the front end!

Nice colour by the way

And you sir

 

[p@blo]

LOL, ocd much? :rasp: You'll get stonechips no matter what-be it your 172 or a dc2.

Nice colour btw-i really wanted a monaco!

Yeah, get it sprayed up, then get some Armourfend and it will never chip again.
