Koop Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 You might find the fabric starts to lift when the summer returns, I used carpet adhesive & mine are baggy as funk now. Best using Trimfix it's the professional shizzle & heat resistant and that. Gonna re-do mine as soon as I've got some dorrar to get some.

Loving your banana car.. HA! Thought a bit of scrape would make things more fun...

TheOwlTwooo Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Was also going to ask for a little bit of advice...My MOT is coming up in the next month, sending it up to the local garage (with a good enough reputation and body shop..) Basically, I was going to ask them about fixing up the scrapes and bumps around the place and giving her a machine polish?.. Is this wise or should I get a proper person to do it, don't want a balls up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arosaproject Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Her name is Mellow Yellow You can follow me if you like, id take it to a proper body shop unless they know what they are doing. mine is going to body shop next year for full respray, its not cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwlTwooo Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 My mum used to have a fiat cinquecento that was yellow... Highlight of my life when I was 8... Being towed up a hill by a tractor because the banana mobil wouldn't start I'm presuming mellow yellow is a little more well behaved!! Ha!I couldn't afford a respray with insurance and all There are just a couple of bits that are irritating me, I would normally try it myself but I'm too chicken and I want a really good job. But I might hold out then and get it done by a proper chappy. No harm in asking my garage anyway.. See what they say! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiiTCH-TDi Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks! I bought aerosol carpet adhesive (Y) it was like £4 on ebay, i only bought one can, that was enough to do all these bits.. but only just! The door cards were a little bit tricky, take your time, and i just did the angular awkward bits first then went from there You were the inspiration bro!! Nice too know that mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOwlTwooo Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Haven't had chance to take any proper piccies since the dent removal...But here is a cheeky one of all my mates piled in the car. Looks much better at this height IMO. Edited November 13, 2012 by TheOwlTwooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
