Re: Shaun's Vitesse
Bit later than hoped but the Vitesse is back on the road after nearly four years
Straight through the MOT, just one advisory for loose front bumper. I hadn't put the plastic clips back in the side brackets as it needs to come off for paint.
Mot man impressed and couldn't remember last time he'd seen an 800 of any description.
Will be going down the body shop on Monday to get a quote for front end re spray
I am now going out for some Turbo fun terrorising old giffers (oh,hang on)

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
The car is now booked in for front end re spray first week in September Both wings, bumper and bonnet. I cant wait to see it all one colour again.
When I took the car for an estimate the painter was a bit concerned about the primer I had used(acrylic) saying there could be a reaction with the top coat. After painting a small test area everything was OK thankfully.
I just need to sell a kidney now to pay for it

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
Vitesse now back from body shop.
Can't tell you how good it is to see it all one colour again. In all the years I've owned it, its the first time I've seen it without any stone chips and scratches.
Still most of the trim to put back and the rear of the car needs cutting back and the hatch lip needs sorting and the sun roof lip and so on and so on
Couple of pics

Looking good, I'm sure it won't be long now before she's cruising the UK's roads again.

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
All those hours with a sanding block and other hard work certainly paid off! Definitely looking good Shaun!

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
Cheers, been busy putting trim back on today. Just re blacked the top of the front bumper, could do with the chrome strip replacing really.
Having a nightmare trying to get everything lined up again, still not completely happy. I think the bumper is sitting a bit low.
Still to do, sill covers, two wheels to paint, some more trim to black and the whole car needs a good clean and polish.
