[RedB]

Holes need wielding, smoothing then colour coding to look pro

[RedB]

Hopefully getting mine done this week so will let you know as soon as i find out prices and that :y:

[cookie182]

cheers mate.
appreciate it

[Payney]

Tbh if your going to get it done properly, you may aswell just go to a bodyshop... Won't cost that much i shouldn't think.

[cookie182]

i probly am gonna get it dun properly...i cba 2 weld myself..cant you just use filler or summat?

[Ben_C]

^^ could, but would likely crack unless you never slam your boot down, lol

[KIRKSTER-VTS]

what about mk2 saxos , there jus sticky aint they , how ya do it on mk2's

[garysvts]

think its about £200 not that sure tho, I bought my car with it done.

[Adum]

i want this done, but cant justify 200 pennies to fill some tiny holes!

[matthewslee]

think its about £200 not that sure tho, I bought my car with it done.

no chance mate cost me 70 at A.C.E in doncaster only takes an hour its only 4 holes :n:

[Predator_R32]

5 holes :p
dont just put filer on it will sink eventually and look crap, just get them welded up, grinded them back, bit of filler, primer, paint and laquer :y:

[Baz]

be around £100 matey maybe bit more, obviously depends on who you know etc :p

[Stewart_1314]

me an my mate done mine, piece of piss mate. Take a hair drier to the badges, then prise them off. T-cut the leftover adhesive. Tape up the backs off the holes and use some filler. Sand it all down till its perfect then re=spray the whole back.

[S70KES]

got price from local bodyshop for mine to be done as well as a wing mirror sprayed and he said £75 for both

[sonic376]

so with the Mk 2 you can just melt the adhesive with a hairdryer?

[dannyjay]

what about mk2 saxos , there jus sticky aint they , how ya do it on mk2's

There the same as a MK1, 5 holes.

[sonic376]

thanks gov

[Predator_R32]

just remove them after washing and drying the car, by the timeyou come to them the suds and water will have loosened the glue ready for you to remove wit a credit card

[Stewart_1314]

no chance mate cost me 70 at A.C.E in doncaster only takes an hour its only 4 holes :n:

All you need to do is buy a small tub of filler, some sand paper and 20 quid worth of spray paint from halfords (primer, 2 cans of the colour and laquer) Its a doddle to do, honestly! But i suppose if you're not really confident then probably better off gettin it done properly eh?

Don't have any better pictures of the rear end, il get some later to show what it looks like now after t-cut

[Predator_R32]

hmmmmm looks really flat that paint mate, and you havent masked up properly

[Stewart_1314]

I know, i let my mate prep it whilst i was out test driving my mates car, when i came back i just thought ah well wont do much harm and it hasnt really, got a bit of spray on the lights which just came straight out and a wee bit on the bumper which came out which back to black. The paint looks fine to me, im not bothered with the look of it at all. Those pics i posted are just really blown up, better ones up now

[Predator_R32]

for the best finish you would have to spray the whole lid and use a compressor with a gravity fed gun

is there laquer on it??

[Stewart_1314]

We sprayed the whole rear m8, yeah theres laquer on it. Think its just the way the lights shining on the last one.

[Stewart_1314]

The first 2 pictures were in the process of doing it btw! We were doing the ariel (had snapped off before i bought it and there was a big hole so we fibre glassed, filled and re-sprayed) so we were letting one coat dry and moving onto the ariel then back and forth...

[Predator_R32]

may be better with a rotary polisher on there mate too

[Stewart_1314]

Im gonna get a borrow of one from work and t-cut the whole car with it

[Predator_R32]

dont use t-cut mate its crap, use a proper swirl remover or paint restorer

use some megs swirl removers, or poorboys or menzerna, just not t-cut, its bad for all the wrong reasons, theres a sticky in the car care section about it

[Stewart_1314]

how much do they cost per bottle? I just spent a fiver on a bottle of t-cut!

[RedB]

refund? lol id go with pred on this one and opt for it to be done pro for a few pennies more even if its just for the piece of mind and that :)

Want my front/rear washer jets and badge holes filled in but need quotes from shops? PM please

Honestly needs welding mate ftw, good luck :y:

[Predator_R32]

how much do they cost per bottle? I just spent a fiver on a bottle of t-cut!

range in price mate from about 10 to 20 pound i think

t-cut just covers things up doesnt get rid of scratches etc

[Stewart_1314]

cool, il have a look for them then. Halfords? Bit expensive though eh?

[Predator_R32]

halfords might have the megs and auto glym paint renovater i suppose not the other ones though like poorboys

i wouldnt say they are expensive when they do the job right :y:
