totally agree, take it to a panel shop to fix the body, then get them to paint it.

no union jack roof on a clubby either,
chequer pattern is acceptable, but only on a black or white mini.

Union jack roof looks awesome on a red roundy IMO. But not so great on a purple clubby.

Repaint the body the same red as the roof, or respray the roof a contrasting colour to the body.

I assume that is a decal on the roof...if it is in good nick and the fella likes the look of it...then suggest he goes over the purple with a better matching colour :idea:

[hmmm auto spell thingey wants to capitalise my nick :roll: ]

Mate not everybody can afford to pay a panel shop 7-10 grand plus for body work and spray a car.

I dont think the union jack goes with the colour scheme, i would change it.
But in the end who cares what we think. If he likes it and had fun doing it/ applying/sticking it whatever, that is all that matters - i think the body only needs a very fine sand (1200 grade) and a cut polish

Good luck with it
Brenton
