It is, in fairness, he seems well to do, so more money than sense kinda, car looks like it came from the factory though I'll give him that, also, no sadly, I've about 2 euro and not a load of fuel, I'll try borrow something though and let you know

Ah.. car viewing tonight hopefully.
Bangernomics special to buy and sell on after the insurance pays up from the accident.
Nothing special, but then again for 450 odd quid with tax and test it's not going to be pretty!

It's a car I have directly insulted many times on this forum in the past.
Not an alfa/fiat/gm though.

How hard would it be to repair lacquer peel on an E39? Would it break the bank or could it be done as DIY?

Cantona's Collars

GvidoR

Must be in Russia... I can see Lada 1600 and Lada Kalina estate. :P

Respray is the only way.

From the terrible pics on the Ad it looks to just be on the front bumper.

This is the car:

If you want it to look good a DIY just wont cut it imo, especially as a first try. You might get it looking better, but I wouldn't do it myself. And respray costs are too expensive in the price bracket you're in. I put 600 into mine for work on the rear arches (slight rust, and paint), which is pretty mental in terms of running costs. But it had to be done.

The only handy thing is a family friend is a repair/respray specialist so would be able to get it done for a reasonably handy price I'd say, it's one of two cars I'm eyeing at the moment.
