Morning all, new to this forum, so unsure if this is the right section to post in.
Here goes.
Bought my insignia, 59 plate, Sri 160 Nav last week. 45k miles and ex fleet lease. paid extremely reasonable money for the car from a local independent.
One of the reasons I paid the reasonable money is there are a few minor cosmetic issues with the car.
The b post pillar cover on the drivers door, has some dents and paintwork issues due to the dents in it, however I am currently assuming I can replace this part. I have found the part numbers online and plan to contact the loal vauxhall dealer for a price of the part supply.
There are a couple of 3" long scratches on the rear quarter panel, that (i think) are beyond "a bit of polish" repair.
In addition there are some sratches on the A pillar on the passenger side which aren't as deep as the rear quarter, but still need looking at.
The last thing i have noticed so far is a dent/crease on the bonnet in the top left hand cormer as you look at the car from the front. Looks like someone the short edge of a brick on it at some point.
Now i'll cut to the chase, anyone know any really good paint repairers/restorers in the derby/east mids area, where the work can be completed on a Saturday and while I wait?
Happy to pay for a decent job, but don't want some noddy with a touch up stick touching it.
I will wash the car this weekend so no dount the list of things bugging me will expand.
Oh and lastly, so for the long post,
