Porsche 997 road warrior repaired by ChipsAway Leicester. On a local trunk road the driver of this Porsche 911 saw a big piece of road debris flying towards his car. The debris hit the front wing, between the headlight and bonnet. As the cheapest point, the headlight and the bonnet would certainly have cost more to repair / replace resulted in a call to Peter on 07830 36 46 86. Peter has worked for this Customer before so his high standards were known. Being able to restict the repair to the small area near the headlight kept the cost down and Peter’s ability to match the colour resulted in a 1st class repair. As you can see from the first picture, even our recent snow did not keep Peter away.

Lexus IS200 TTE Bumper and Lip Spoiler paint repair by Peter of ChipsAway in Leicester. There is a fashion for white cars these days, but 10 years ago Lexus introduced a 3 coat pearle white called Riviera White. On a dull day, it looks white, but in the sunshine it has a wonderful depth to it due to the extra pearle coat. Following a coming together with a bollard the rear bumper was distorted and the paint crazed. You can see the damage in the first photo. To ensure the repair would last, Peter set about the crazing with a demel grinder to open out the cracks prior to filling and painting. At this stage (second photo) the owner was near to tears as the area looks so much worse than at the start.

As you can see in the third photo the end result was very good.

As the lip spoiler had started to split above one of the fixing bolts, Peter ground out, then filled this area as well, then painted it to match.

Alfa bumper repair in Leicester. Many of the repairs Peter carries out are not very easy to show well in a photograph, but among the assorted repairs required on this Alfa Romeo 156 was this very visual bumper scuff. As well as damage to the plastic bumper, the damage extended onto the rear quater panel. A rather unusual metalic brown, Peter was able to match the colour and blend the repair into the OEM colour. Can you spot the joins?
