This is how she looked today

How come it's in for a respray Jeff? I see there obviously been a few dings filled but was it just for a freshin up?

Jeff · June 25, 2009, 06:39:55 PM

That's it exactly.
A lot of the spare time I have now was spent trying to get her back in shape but when I counted all the 'trolly dings' and the light scrapes I had awarded her over the last5 years, along with the swirls and light scratches from previous owners, I thought I'd treat her to a full massage and titivation.
the wife got her new bathroom... I get a tidy looking car

fair 'nuff! Should look mint when it's done. I presume it's just a basic exterior re-spray?

Nice one Jeff. I'm sure she'll look stunning when it's finished. You must post lots of pictures.

It's a pity you can't get a 'respray' for the ladies when they get a bit old and frayed around the edges.

(Mind you, they'd probably say the same about us

).

can't wait to see the finished article, Jeff. I love when they come out of the spray booth looking like glass. And take two car parking spaces in future, save those inconsiderate shoppers the pain of resting their door against yours.

Cheers guys. It is just a 'lower half' external job to match.
Paul, I got the Kia for shopping in...
The 4 will be my weekend toy AND I hope to get to some meets now I have the time!!!!
Isn't it funny how 'grey with wrinkles' is 'distinguished' on a man..... say no more

Jeff · June 30, 2009, 12:43:24 PM

Latest stage.
It's a slow job ....

fifegt4 · June 30, 2009, 03:28:05 PM

karbon · June 30, 2009, 06:37:19 PM

coming along fine Jeff, will be nice to see her finished.

paul_gt4 · June 30, 2009, 06:56:18 PM

getting excited yet jeff?

Jeff · June 30, 2009, 08:23:32 PM

as pointed out elsewhere...they did not remove the repeater indicators nor the headlight washers so at the end of the day I am negotiating the cost...
BUT she is shining again...BUT I am bored with red and need to sort a few 'decals' perhaps?

any ideas?

How about "my other four is a proper one"

Alternatively, you could always use any of your numerous posts that only seem to make sense to you!

what about some white stripes like this?
