madmanncfc Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sadly not i swapped my original cards in as part of the deal. Maybe you should ask your buyers to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I vote keep it & start saving for the respray, it's not as if you can't still drive it in the meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd never have a car re-sprayed again, its awful. You cant take it anywhere with out being paranoid. Even as careful as you can possibly be, like I am with mine. I had my fresh paint keyed after two weeks.Work with with you've got, just tidy the edges!

madmanncfc Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 You had your paint keyedThat sucks :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 keep. Alot of people get rid of these and then regret it very shortly afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Way I see it you're more likely to regret selling than not, if you don't sell you can change your mind later, can't do that if you get rid! Maybe go back to bodyshop for a quote on touching up the bad bits rather than a full respray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanncfc Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Sadly that quote was just for the bad bits but thats pretty much the whole car :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noone else is in the car park thats seen anything as its like 7pm and we close at 8 and theres only my car and two others in the car park.We cant see the plate as the office doesnt face toward the car park.So we go outside and my cars been rear ended the bumpers popped off both sides and theres a nice big mark in it. Pics will be up tommorrow but the rear tow eye isnt straught and theres a small crease in the boot floor.Im gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanncfc Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ah rightWell ive already stripped the rear bumper off completely and put the bumper into storage at work. It drove home ok so im going to get the chassis checked tommorrow too see its its bent the whole car or just dented the boot floor and bumper panel.If the chassis is straight im going to see if i can rework the important panels and leave the boot floor as it is.Im not planning on selling the car as i love it too much so if i can mend the damage and then get the spray work done that ive already booked its being kept. If the chassis is too bent im going to break the car and see what i can replace it with.At the moment i cant even look at it in this state as it makes me cry.

madmanncfc Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well i havent been well today so my mate picked the car up and took it in to his shop where it is now.The chassis isnt bent or twisted and the damage to the boot floor wouldnt be an mot failure. All i have to do now is look at it tommorrow when im better and try and reshape the panel thats bent.On the plus side it gives me a good idea for a new project to ressurect the lupo myself.
