Ape Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Car dons I need your halp. I was going to cop a car before but as it was summer, didn't really need it. I am not on campus this year so I need this maufaaker. 4 bags, I want something that is not likely to have me shelling out a bag in repairs every so often. Help me brahs, I was looking at a Golf but mileage is always a bit mad. In the same boat as you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinalBawse Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm sure I've asked this before but apart from Piston heads / auto trader, where else you guys look? Local dealers and sh*t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BALL Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm sure I've asked this before but apart from Piston heads / auto trader, where else you guys look? Local dealers and sh*t? Other then the two you mentioned... Try gumtree Try Cargiant (can be quite pricey but recommend going there just to have a look, sit in the cars you like, gauge price levels etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung bawse Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 ebays' not too bad as a last resort, just search within a decent milage of your area then ring them to ask questions/view if you spot something you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dipset Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Cars been keyed kmt .. whats a good way to recover and make the scratch more bearable? Does t-cut work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung bawse Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 depends how deep the scratch is but worth a try... if you car is a colour that doesn't fade easily then just get from touch up paint the same shade as your car and go over it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour Cake Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Rub ur nail against the scratch, if the scratch has gone through to bare metal, t-cut won't do sh*t. Touch up paint or panel respray is the only other option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Edgar Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 My car got keyed back in 07, the f*ckers done every panel apart from the roof and boot. I got mine done for £400, that included respraying both front doors, both rear panels and the bonnet (to blend in the colours) and removing a dent on a rear quarter panel. I also got given a courtesy car and the guy also got me a new wing mirror glass as mine got licked a few days prior. That was a bargain considering other places were quoting £600+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Edgar Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Edgware Crash Repairs in Ballards Mews. Good thing about the place is that there are two other crash repair firms in the same unit, so you can get them to give you 'competitive quotes' and haggle it.
