New car now Jason, time to enjoy. I take it you have to break it in?

I've not been over 70 yet - should I be driving it slow for a few weeks?

 

[LOCKE]

I would be driving in the low revs for he next 500 miles if possible to let everything bed in. Did the garage not advise you? They would know better than me mate.

Curbed my freshly refurbed wheel this morning LOL ;(

Absolute nightmare

Is it bad? I picked up a paint touch up pen from Halfrauds when I scuffed mine a little, depends on the amount of damage but mine covered up surprisingly well.

Edit: here's what I used. Although mine was the satin black one instead of gloss but I think yours are gloss?

I might be able to t-cut some of it and then p200 paper it softly and touch up, it won't be perfect but it's ok. TBH I need to start letting go a little, accidents happen and as much as we love them they are only cars, I think my obsession with it has become a little unhealthy

 

[Big Ben]

Have a close look at my car at xmas buddy...

You'll feel a whole lot less paranoid about the state of yours

Great to hear you've got the car back, Jason, and it's all sorted now. It's a shame you had to go through all the crap of it all, no one deserves that. Now you have it back, hopefully you can enjoy it and put it all behind you.

We all get a little obsessed about our cars, and worrying about what might go wrong can cause a heck of a lot stress. But things do go wrong and there's not often much we can do about it - we just have to deal with it when it happens. And until that time, we just have to enjoy what we have and make the most of it!

important you have your baby back..a little dent can be repaired...

You need some good fortune now lol...

Saying that I curbed my wheel the morning after I got it on this car all the way round scraped. Never since though in 18 months.

I tend to look at it as a relationship rather than an obsession, full of ups and downs, too much money spent and sometimes hard to walk away from. The good times will roll mate.

On retrospect I'm going to try a full on DIY repair, I'll post some before and after pictures. It's just finding the spare time Ha!

 

[Sean197]

Have a look at this for a guide

 

[jasonlovesfrench]

I'm starting to think about my wheels and more specifically the fact they are black, I'm so over black. Considered white but white only looks good with side strips done black i feel, which I don't want.
So, i'm think this kind of finish, is this what they call diamond cut? (excuse the pic it's the only one I could find)

 

[Big Ben]

I'll swap my anthracite for your black buddy

 

[Beany]

Gloss black on RB I think looks the business...
you thought about going anthracite or fancy more shiny

 

[Beany]

Hold on @Big Ben what about me.....

 

[jasonlovesfrench]

I'll swap my anthracite for your black buddy

I think I want mine super duper shiney silver
