B5 on Collecting Cars

[Flynnio]

No not too bad at all, but have benefitted greatly from a proper strip down and paint rather than just localised repair / refresh . There was a little kerb rash but the wheels had just lost a bit of the original shine and the paint was a little dull. The wheels had to come off anyway to properly clean inside the arches and suspension etc, as well as to ceramic coat inside the wheels, so made sense to send them away for a full refurb as part of the TLC process. I am quite particular…..

The exterior refresh is being done by Cambridge Concours, based near Stansted airport. I have used them a lot for various interior and exterior works on cars and really rate their work - for paint correction and leather repairs in particular . Very easy to deal with too. They outsource the wheel refurbishment but I’m not sure who to.

Hoping these photos upload properly, but here are a couple of work in progress pictures. Since these were taken the paint correction has been completed and the PPF has been applied, it should be ready for collection next week

Paint correction all finished, PPF fitted to front end and other vulnerable areas, wheels back on. Really happy with how she’s now looking. Next job on the list is to get a tracker fitted (insurance requirement), renew the MOT and then start using it!
