Hi I live in the Chichester/Portsmouth are and I have recently had a smash up. I have banged out the dents on the side wing got all the replacement parts now. Here's some pics of what i've done. I was just wondering where would be the best place to get sprayed I will show all pics that need painting.

The crash was my fault I pulled out on some bloke :( but anyway smashed up bumper, bit of side wing, grill and bonnet.

I stripped it all down. And had to straighten the front panel, side wing and bonnet and replace the front headlight and indicator, the bumper, the grill.

I had to take the side wing off cos it was awkward as to bang out.

I straightened up the bonnet and grill but still gotta put a layer of filler or fibreglass then sand smooth.

What I need is a respray on the following:

- Front Grill
- Front Bumper
- Part of Bonnet and Side wing
- Minor touching up on rear bumper.

Any help would be much appreciated thanks

Not to sure where to get it done was just interested how you starightened up the front panel and that as mine is a bit knackered i think from the person before me and i need to fix it as my light faces the floor. Have you got any pics of it before you fixed it?

you can get a mobile sprayer to come to you now, not sure wqere they are based, get the yellow pages out, sure there will be a few in there

hello m8 i've only got a picture that I took off my phone but you can still see what it was like.

What you do is you need a set of dollys and hammers. You wedge the dollys into the inside of the metal and bang on the outside. Use plyers to straightening other bits. It's just common sense really. You would be surprised the metal those frenchies use for our saxo's is like paper.
