L461 P460e.....for probably about 9 - 10 months (the diesel, which was excellent, had hit 24,000 miles so well over due a change!)

Free of charge?

Life can be a real bitch at times....

No, its a preferential lease scheme so paid for after tax (no BIK hit)

Given the replacement wing a good flatting and a couple of coats of primer filler., ready to base coat and clear coat the 'hidden' parts prior to fitting. Have to do it this way, and spray the main wing on the car, as I have no way of suspending it , to spray off car.
Mind you, got to get the old wing off first

Just had a local farmworker (who comes from Donegal ! ) knock on my door and ask if I would sell my Omega.
Didnt even discuss money. Just told him it wasnt for sale.

I recently bought a fold up clothes rail for hanging panels/ parts for spraying. I do it outside as its a faff sheeting everything up to avoid overspray on my other cars in the garage. It a single rail with four angled legs. It's ideal for single panels and parts. Just choose your day, hang them up and spray. When you've done, its simple enough for two to move it into the garage to harden. It's easy to store in its folded state.

Thanks for that JD....given me some food for thought

The one I bought was a Sykiariol folding clothes rail off Amazon.
Available in 121 cm wide for £27.99 or 141 cm wide for £33.99. Stainless poles, heavy duty. Very pleased with it for that purpose.

Started clearing my garage at home out so I can fit the teardrop trailer/caravan in, the Omega wheels are going to the scrap yard tomorrow as nobody wanted them. Did a skip run this morning, my right foot/ankle leg is now hurting (weak achilleas) after all the steps to the skips. Cortina front clip cut in 1/2 so I can lift it into my car to take to my workshop, lower wishbone bolts seized in bushes of course. Have another skip run now on Sat with a car full.
