[eves]

LOOKED AT 172 this evening, it was lovely except this scratch on the rear arch! he says he got quoted £60 to get it sprayed! what do you think ?http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1094845062__scratch.jpg

Looks like it would rub off with a little thinners. Chipsaway would do that for £60 I reckon.

Car wax will often get that sort of mark off.

oh yeah! how you think itll cost then roughly?

Id be a bit dubious tbh mate. If it was that cheap / easy why hasnt he done it himself before putting the car up for sale?

It may well cost £60, but I guess if you budget £200 and factor that into the price you offer him youll have covered yourself. Even painting the whole wing wouldnt cost £200, so youre safe.

thats a well cheap repair mate, if thats the only mark on the car i would deffo go for it.

Lonnys is mint though, coilovers and 17s with it too......
