A good friend, Ben, wanted to develope his editing skills so I scratched my own car, a very rare Subaru SVX, so he could film the repair. Get the popcorn and enjoy the movie:  

Many people have a “favourite” make of car, and for all sorts of reasons. There are a number of aspirational brands out there that attract customers, sometimes it’s just price, style or reliability (perceived and real).

Citroen C4 rear bumper insert Sometimes a scuff is restricted to a small area in a large panel and other times it is located within a small well defined area as this one. This is a case of a bumper doing exactly what it was designed to do and as a result it was easy […]

Badges and Paintwork Repair   This Ford Fiesta had it’s rear hatch and bumper damaged while parked in a supermarket car park. When the owner returned to load the car, there was, surprise surprise, no note under the wiper. The repair itself is quite straight forward, but to get the best result, the tricky part […]
