Unless you blend the wings you're just gonna have to put up with that on a 15 year old car.
Were the stone chips right up to the very back of the bonnet i.e. the windscreen?
If he's saying it will dull down I'm guessing the paint is brighter or got more depth than the rest of the panels? Indigo can be a ball ache for oxydisation so it may be worth getting the rest of the car machine polished to see if that helps.
As for the running issue you had, I had a very similar one with my cobalt gti, it would only rev to 5k rpm, turned out to be a crank position sensor in the end.
Seeing as everyone is showing there rallyes off, I'm going to hi-jack your thread aswell
You coming to the drive on Saturday Jim?
Can I have a go? You can have a run in my paxo.
Vast improvement.
Looks spot on Jim. When I get my act together I'll have a pop down to see him.
Nice wheel. No plans on selling the car yet?
Nice wheel is that. What else?
