Hi all

Got the bumper back, and have reinstalled, it looks fantastic! The colour looks the same, though I havent seen it on the car in the sun, yet.

I took some pics, but they are in the camera, I brought the camera today, but I left the cable at home :-(.

I hope to give you some pictures tomorrow, then.

Thanks

Yes, beautiful bodies did it.

I told him I was in no hurry, I preferred the job done properly to him rushing it. So he had it for about 2 weeks.

I am trying to upload some pics, but I have to change the size .

I\'m in Walton on Thames, do I detect a mini-meet??? :-)

Here is the bumper, I m just checking the colour match..

Right, here I am checking the colour after refitting:

mini meet ! sounds good !

Bumper looks good so he charged 220+vat for that respray?
i take it that it would be alot more expensive for him to take the bumper off ect....

is your paint code NU ?

Yes, I suppose it would be more to remove the bumper.

Yes my code is NU for classic Red, but my car is not the standard Mazda colour. Therefore, John had to mix the paint specially, I took him the fuel cap flap so he could match it.

So, the paint mixing bit might be cheaper for you if yours is the standard mazda colour. On mine, he had to remove all of the old paint, too. He might not need to do that on yours, not sure.

After calling at Mazda for a touch up pencil I have discovered my paint code is SU for "Vintage Red". Dont know how many Rexs are this colour. Never seen another one apart from mine.

Almost finished. Do you like my foglight? Is coming off straight after MOT. It had to be at that height to pass the SVA.

After this picture it was just a matter of the number plate, and then the really difficult part...putting all the interior back together :-((
