Nice shiney red version. Very Happy

Just need some mud flaps, rubber mats, boot liner.
For now.
Maybe a door dinger strip down the side.
Haven't seen many F2 with them fitted.
Colour coded mirrors at some point, how good would the paint match be ?

Found a couple of decent stone chips while giving it its first wash.
Are those paint pens any good or is it worth getting one of those man in a van, scratch/ chip repairer.
Any one know one in Sheffield area.
Thanks.

That's better! I do miss my Rimini! - well, the colour at least!

Touch up pens - (a kit really, comprising colour and lacquer) are ok to seal and stop any rust, but there is no substitute for a proper job. Using the kit, don't use the included brush to actually paint. Just use it to dab some paint in to a small cup or whatever. Then use a fine artists brush. More info on here (do a search) or on "detailing" sites. Man in van - not tried myself but expect about £100 per panel. Inferior I understand to a proper bodyshop. Which will cost about £150 per panel. The finish is worth it. Check your local area for those with a good reputation (it can be a lottery)
