A few pics of the before and after since accident damage to the front end.

The car is now back on the road as of today.

It drives great and looks good. The car could really do with a full respray!!

The replacement bonnet was pretty bad, but with a load of work it came out good in the end. The grill had to be be the Plus type from Auto DS in Poland as there was no other choice. Nice fit though and probably more durable than the standard one.

I am pleased that I decided to have a go at the painting myself. I will probably do the whole car one panel at a time. Depending on funds and time.

Just need a new test (Next week now) and a new battery.

It all took a while, but happy to be back driving her again.
