Another DU VAY refresh update
So yesterday I collected my other front wing back from the body shop along with the lower headlight trims (not pictured) As with the driver side front wing I've had recently refurbished I also had the inside of this front wing treated, sealed at the edges, primed, painted and even lacquered. The outer paint is simply exquisite and a perfect match without any stone chips.
Few happy snaps below. Last edited by mattCSLnut; 11-07-2015 at 09:55 PM. |

Finally got both of my lower sill covers back freshly painted and looking brand new First 2 pix show just how badly stone chipped they were before the re-fresh especially on the leading edge.
While the plastic sill covers were off being re-sprayed I thoroughly cleaned the metal sills (which are usually hidden) and applied couple of cheeky layers of AUTOGLYM's finest for future preservation |

Matt,
If you were any sort of person, you would be doing a photographic step by step guide on how to remove these items :p .

To do it properly the front wings and the sill covers had to come off anyway + I didn't want the inevitable car body shop dust all over Cecils interior and in all the nooks & crannies

Matt,
Looking lovely. May I ask which body shop you have used? |
