Car Body Trim Repair

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Cream_Revenge, May 30, 2016.

  1. Morning
    Anyone know of a way to repair (hide) damage like this to the plastic trim?

    I was thinking hot air gun and Stanley blade.

    TIA

  2. You can buy textured black plastic repair paint for small defects. But these are too far gone imo.

  4. Yeah, think i'll have to let a pro do it. If it was my car i'd have a go but its the wife's company car and they don't like her much already.

    Really irritating thing is it'll be at least £300 for front and back and I could buy a good compressor for that.

  6. In my 1st post; I was going to comment that it serves you right for letting your wife drive the car, but it was too early on a Bank Holiday Monday to be labelled sexist.

    Thanks for confirming my suspicion. :)

  7. She has also slightly broken the rear light cluster, still perfectly useable, I tried to swap the light from my 63 focus to her 65 focus but they are very slightly different.... [emoji35] uploadfromtaptalk1464603698635.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1464603702636.jpg
