She's back!

They've made a really good job of it, have to really look to see the repairs!  Really pleased and would recommend the guy who did the work!

Sexy brum brum! :-*

I Think they've done a good job.

Only issues / non issues I can see so far are, overspray into wheel arches, and they have reused the old trim from the rear screen.  (No griffin badge yet due to supply issue)

They've..
repaired a large rust spot on the roof
usual tailgate rust, and the same between lock and numberplate
rust on bottom of both rear arches and doors.
Front wing paint had come off.

Seems to be a very good colour match too :D

Happy to supply details to anyone interested :y

Havent got much in the way of before photos...Just these couple..







These are todays...
not great light, so will get some better ones over the weekend.

All you that lined yourself up for a slap by way of women drivers quips.

Would'nt worry about it to much as your not likely to be found, Navigation is not a strong point neither ;D ;D

But on the plus side if you are after a pair of shoes or a new hoover...................................... ;)

Bit rich from a bloke with a bra size for a user name don't you think! :P :P :P

Looks like they've done a damn fine job there Laura. :y.........I almost shed a tear or two! ::) I see what James meant with a tad of overspray inside the wheel arches but that'll probably be unoticeable after a bit of use. Great to see my baby's being well cared for. :y :y

Ah Bob, you'll hopefully see her soon!  :-*
I think he's done a good job for a local, backstreet bodyshop to be honest.  Amazing what's on your doorstep that you don't know about.

what happened to those awesome wheels? Really made it stand out running on those.

Looks good though, leave it de badged, remove the Vauxhall front Grill, bet people won't really know who made it  :)

It never had a Vauxhall front grill mark - that's an Irmscher grill.
I changed the Azev wheels over a year ago because they were too damn expensive to keep shod in tyres - especially the 265 rears! Used to get through a set every 10k miles!! Also, Azevs seem to be made of a fairly soft alloy and they were frequently getting dented thanks to our wonderfully potholed roads. Apart from that I think she looks well with original MV6 wheels back on. ;)

The wheels ate tyres for breakfast, dinner and tea!  Prefer what's on it to be honest.

What Vauxhall front grill? ::)
If we'd though in advance about de-badging we'd have had the holes filled and left it but the holes are there so a badge is on its way! 

And thinking about it, I don't want her to lose her vauxhall identity!

Scrub those wheel arches and get some schultz (or similar) sprayed under them and behind the wheel arch.  :y

Actualy Ljay, get Jimbob to do it, save you a job  ;D
