At last,

 

after 4 weeks I've got my G60 back from the body shop - Volkskraft, just outside Lincoln.

 

Full respray, new windscreen, wing replaced, bumper repaired, colour coded (delocked) door handles and wing mirror surrounds, new roof rubber strips, various other new rubber seals and trims.

 

Plus a working sunroof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :!:

 

Thanks go to Kevhaywire for the tip on the water guide plate.

 

Fantastic job. Now all I've got to do is put the interior back in, complete with a Infinity basslink and a bluetooth phone kit (Parrot CK3100). I think I'll be busy for the next couple of evenings and most of the weekend. :D

 

Photos of the finished job will be posted later. Here are a few taken during the process. Oh by the way, it ain't on that number plate any more either!!

After a long delay due to not having a camera handy after the cars has had a wash here are some photos of my car post respray.

 

The bluetooth Parrot car kit is in and working brilliantly with my Sony Ericson phone.

 

I've also fitted an Infinity Basslink to go with my Alpine headunit and Boston FS50 components. Speaker pods have also been deadmatted. The sound is now a hell of a lot better with that extra bass.

 

I now have a complete (apart from a few small items) black interior fitted and I'm very happy with it. Perhaps if a black leather interior came along I might be tempted to change but until then!

 

I need to sort out the suspension (boge lowering kit) as it's just too bouncy on Lincolnshire back roads. Not sure if just chopping the bumpstops will sort it out as they are standard (new).

Done and done.

 

This is indeed a very nice clean looking car - the pics don't do it justice! :)

cheers for that Jim

Looking good m8 - that's one shiny car.. :mrgreen:

[Guest]

very nice mate. how much did the respray cost you?

[Tattie 0]

Wasn't cheap!

 

I had a new windscreen fitted plus side windows taken out and then put back in by a specialist. Approx £300 for that lot if not a bit more. Sunroof was repaired (only tilted), wing (from Struan) replaced and the front bumper repaired.

 

In the end just over 2K (ouch I know) but it is a bloody good job.

 

A friend from back home who used to have his own bodyshop was very impressed with the job.
