Got 2 nasty dents taken out. been bugging the life out of me for months!
Cant even tell they were there :smiley:
 anyone wanting dents sorting out in the north east, paul from Just Dents is the man :notworthy:
Knew Paul would sort it out for you :pomppomp:

Where abouts? Paintless only?  :happy2:

yep paintless only :happy2: He's got some talent!  I use the same tools at work on unpainted cars, but they certainly dont look like that when I pull the tweaker bar out :laugh:

From what I've read and done myself it was easy (and it must be if I can do it).Use your car aerial for the am/fm and I was told that u can use a DAB window aerial  that fits along the inside of the window near the tax disk.The sound is loads better. Well worth it.

2 layers of Collinite 476 on... (except the rear bumper  :signLOL: )

The beading and water run off of collinite is ridiculous.  :love:

Drove to VW Chester for a PX valuation against a Scirocco but came to my senses and went the 'long' way home  :driver:
