As mentioned previously, I did a little oopsy in my car over the winter and decided to keep my insurance down by fixing it myself. That actual fixing bit went fine, everything is now put back together in as good a condition as when I get it brand new.
That last part that now needs doing is to paint the front wing which I bought pre-primed ready for spraying. Since mine is Sea Grey which is one of the most popular colours of Focus, it should be fairly easy to get the paint. So I thought I’d make sure I had a good job done on it and went to T.C. Harrisons (the local Ford dealer) to ask them how much it would be. Bearing in mind that the front wings on modern cars are really that big, their quote of £350 seems absolutely rediculous!
After waiting for a month or two while I saved up and paid off some other bills I was in true English style, spoke to a man in a pub. He gave me the name of someone he knew who sprays cars and said to give him a ring. I did and it’s booked in for tomorrow for £75. Bargain. Now just got to wait to see how good a job he does.
