Guys

For those who've done it, who did you use, what parts done and how much ?

Cheers

I'm sure you've asked this question before...

Mine has been done when Robmug owned the car; he had the front end re-sprayed due to chipping. It's perfect but I don't know who did the work - if you msg Rob, he'll likely give you details.

Shortly after the respray, he had it covered in Paintshield to protect the new paint and that's something well worth looking into otherwise chips can re-appear from day 1.

Agree, but couldn't find the thread mate....then wondered if it was asked on a thread that went off topic (for a change)

I used Simpson earlier this year for a bumper repair and front end respray, looked good at the time but paint appears to be very soft, done the least miles this year in the CSL that I've done and the bump is really badly chipped much more so that when I've had it done previously. So will be looking to have it done again over the winter but may look to go elsewhere.

I'm not say it was bad job and the bumper carbon repair was absolutely spot on and they were very accommodating with when the car went in, just the paint could be a bit harder.
