Shame the Merc had a reliable auto box that does not come up malfunction warnings every so often. Will be great getting back in a manual.
Went to the body shop this morning after they text me for my paint code yesterday and the barstewardss were closed. They said they were painting them this morning.
Waited for a dry spell and removed my sill trims.
Got the toffee wheel out to remove the remains of the double sided tape.
All done ready for my painted ones to be fitted.
Almost finished the other side before it started pissing it down.
Got my eBay pre painted wings delivered. Paint job is good and looks a close match. Will see how they fit.
Looking at the weather Sunday will be a washout so should be ok on Monday to get some more done.

Sun was out this morning so got on the golf.
Started to strip down the front end.
Drivers side wing removed.
Rust on the sill and under wing lower mount.
Sprayed some metal ready to sort the rust out and cracked on with the other side
Less rust on the sill this time.
Scrap parts collection is getting bigger.
Rust is sorted now and just covered it in primer and touch up just overnight in case it rains.
Trial fitted the wings and should not take a lot to get to fit.

Managed to get a bit further on the sills.
Couple of coats of paint sprayed on. Paint is slightly darker but not really noticeable.
Four coats of clear and a bit of blending. Not come out to bad. Will give it a good polish tomorrow.
By no means perfect but looks a great deal better than the rust.
