Little sisters and cars don't mix hehe.

Gonna try fix these scratches and dents the best I can with her on Saturday. Can people let me know the best way to tackle them? I have a fair idea of this sort of thing, but would welcome suggestions.

BTW, getting behind the dents by the rear lens could be a problem.

Need to get the raised bit in the bumper down so the rear lens can fit properly.

as for the bumper,get a bit of heat behind it,but not too much,as u will blister the paint Shocked Shocked

Tis a Clio.

Hadn't thought about heat... wonder how hot I'll need to get it? We talking heat gun or blow torch Very Happy

I'll be putting some new paint on it though, so that don't really matter.

Me useless... you can't even spell my name laughing cool

But she's a student... 50 quid or so is prob too much (it's already dented in other places). We just need to fix it up a bit so the lens will fit and boot will shut!

I didn't take the photos mate... the car is up in Derby. Has arrived today at mine though, don't look that bad to be honest. Bit of a whack here n there and it'll be sorted.
