Peter tests his skills on a Vito damaged by a container truck. Peter recently carried out a repair on a Mini and the repair so impressed this Vito owner that Peter was asked to look at some damage on the nearside rear quarter panel. Not your regular bumper scuff, the container had re-modeled the swage line and distorted the panel itself. The owner had used a touch-up kit to protect the damaged area, though quite a lot of surface rust had set in already. This was removed as much as possible with a trusty Dremel prior to priming and filling. The filling took several hours to build up and flat down,but the end result was as good as Peter expected and better than the customer believed possible.

Carried out on the understanding that Peter would get the best repair possible, it was a good 8 hour job with regular cups of tea supplied.

No matter how careful you are while maneuveringyour car, there can always be an unexpected crunch in the dark. A protruding bracket on a skip hidden in the shadows came into contact with the front wing if this nice SLK. Too sharp a dent to be handled by “paintless dent removal” (PDR) specialists Peter at ChipsAway (PDS) Ltd was called in to help.

A little re-shaping was needed, to remove the high spots, followed by a light skim of filler to return the wing to the correct shape. This was followed with ChipsAway primer. While this was baking, Peter mixed the correct version of the colour. Three or four coats of AquaClear paint covered the primer and this was followed by the environmentally friendly ChipsAway lacquer. Once this was baked, a little flatting and polishing brought the repair up to the same high glass as the rest of the wing.

Repair to SLK front bumper by Peter of ChipsAway (PDS) Ltd. When a small bumper scuff appeared on the front bumper of a very nice Mercedes SLK the driver took out the touch up kit supplied with the car. Though a good attempt was made of the repair it was not up to the standard of the rest of the car so Peter was called in to put it right. After cleaning off the touch up paint (actually the wrong colour anyway) the scratches were filled and after making sure everything was back to level the area was primed,painted with the correct shade of  Brilliant Silver followed by a couple of coats of lacquer.

As you can see, the result is indistinguishable from the Mercedes finish

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.

Porsche Cayman S bumper repair.

While working for a local accountants in Leicester, one of their Clients stopped by to see what I was repairing and we got into a chat about repairs and the kind of cars I worked on. Thinking the Ford I was working on was my target audience I let him know that I have worked on almost all makes, I will often say ‘Fords to Ferraris’ to indicate the range which also includes Rolls Royce, Bentley, Porsche and Maserati.

It was at this point that he told me he had a new Cayman S at home with a scuff low down on the front bumper and asked if I could quote for the work. This was arranged and the job booked in as Porsche advised the parts needed to be replaced at a cost of almost £900, so £150 was a bargain and the work carried a better guarantee!

The work was carried out in half a day at the Customers home, as this was the most convienient location for them, and the car looks as good as new again.
