Hey guys

I am at the point of removing all the paint from deluxe and have discovered that at one point it has had a front end collision.

Now the panel beating work done is pretty impressive but would still require a layer of body filler to flatten out.

I have spent countless hours and over $1500 on new panels to eliminate rust.

Now my question is do I repkace the front rh gaurd and front panel or do I do just put a layer of body filler on again which looked just fine before.

The car isnt going to be concourse or anything close to that but im just not sure how much more I can justify spending on body panels


Cheers guys

Rodney

I would replace them. I regret not replacing mine as the alignment is just not right. its close, but not right.

bogs not that bad! if your panel beater checks the bonnet fitment and does his job, then it should be a perfect gap around the bonnet, and bog would only be a worry if your filling a huge dent but front guards on minis have plenty of room to swing a hammer, if your paying for it say you want it dead straight! fussy customers win when it comes to panel beaters.
