Audi Q7 wheel arch repair in Leicester on owners drive. Big cars often make it difficult for the driver to see  all four corners while maneuvering. This was the case here and the result was an area of damage that included both the front bumper and the front wing.

As with most jobs the secret is to get the preparation right, so much time is spent filling and flatting prior to adding primer, paint and lacquer.

The end result, a repair that is indistinguishable from the original paintwork.

If this has happened to you, why not call Peter on 07830 36 46 86 for a chat.

How long does a repair take?

People oftern want to know how long a repair will take. Sometimes it is because they have waved a spray can over a repair in the past and think it takes minutes, some think Peter has a magic wand so here are a few examples of work Peter has carried out over the last few months:

Porsche Boxster rear bumper – standard repair that requires extra work to blend the edges of the repair as there are no ‘natural’ edges – about 3 – 4 hours

Vauxhall Corsa rear wheel arch – no issues here, though sometimes their Starsilver can be a pain – about 2 – 3 hours

Honda CRV front bumper – this sort of repair can take a long time as you ease the bumper back into shape – about 5 – 7 hours

Ford Ka rear quarter panel – repair depends very much on the amount of damage – this one took about 4 hours

Toyota MR2 front bumper – due to the age of the car there was a lot of crazing to paint – about 3 – 4 hours

VW Passat door handle – about 2 hours

Mercedes SLK rear bumper – straight forward repair – about 2 – 3 hours

Toyota Avensis rear bumper – well controlled area and a ‘good’ colour – about 2 – 3 hours

Crumpled wing on Audi A3 repaired by ChipsAway in Leicester. When a regular business Customer contacted Peter about a damaged wing it was not clear what he would find. The damage was quite extensive and required quite a lot of work before it could be painted. The end result was above the Customers expectations, which is always nice.

If this sort of damage has happened to your car then perhaps Peter can help you. Call Peter on 07830 36 46 86 or email from the link on this page.

It’s a very small world. When Peter went to see Tom to quote on some damage to his 08 plate Honda Civic it was clear Tom was not a local. Though there may be 20 years between them, at one time they lived within 4 or 5 miles of each other in Newcastle and went to the same Heaton Grammar School ( http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hgshhs/hgs/  for information).

The repair went well, but the best part was chatting about some of the changes, old and new that have taken place over the years.

Does colour matter? Over the last few weeks Peter has repaired more Black cars than ever before.

Most Black cars these days are metallics and pearls. Names like Obsidian and Sapphire are the order of the day, but they are all blacks of one shade or another. Often with 12 or more tints these are complex colours, but ChipsAway Aquaclear system allows Peter to get a perfect match even though most manufacturers have 10 to 20 shades of there own!

So what do you think? Does it matter what colour your car is? Do some colours attract more damage?

Bollards! Plastic bumper repair needed. When a Working Breakfast member caught his bumper on a bollard the air was blue, but the bumper was yellow and it had a very large dent and broken bracket for the driving lamp. After removing the wheel and the wheelarch liner Peter was able to re-shape the bumper and get it back to the correct shape. A little filler was needed to get it just so then primer, paint and lacquer had the outside looking as good as new.

Some resin and glass mat repaired the bracket so the lamp could be aligned again and all was well. If this has happened to you, give Peter a call and see if he can help.
