Stonechips

  1. My megane is suffering quite badly from chips on the rear arches and door frame bottoms has anyone any experience with having this repaired is it going to be a full rear quarter re spray ?
     
  2. I have em at the door bottoms and bottoms of the rear arch
     
  3. There only really noticeable when it's really gleaming clean but it's never gonna be a super show car with them I'm gonna put some flaps on afterwards to try and stop it coming back
     
  4. I'm gonna fill mine all in and clear coat them myself
     
  5. i have this problem too, hopefully gettin it resprayed next month then gettin clear vinyl around the arch for extra protection
     
  6. Need a 5L tin to do mine lol i will try get some pics up,
     
  7. I want them redoing just an idea of cost really in going to fit mudguards and possibly some clio skirts so that should help
     
  8. I need mine doing too, shows up so much with ly :-(
     
  9. Mine doesn't really show but when it's clean it stands out a mile :worried:
     
  10. I tried to cut my arch area using some P1 to get rid of my stone chips. I don't advise it, the compound goes chalky when polishing which filled the chips with white residue and actually highlighted the area. Not good on a black car! Damn it
     
  11. iv managed to get a quote of 240 for both sides and 40 quid for the vinyl. so nae too bad price
     
  12. Quite obvious on LY, goes up about 3x the height of the vinyl on the rear arch, and around the corner of the door frame. The doors seem to sit in slightly which doesn't help. Fitted front flaps to try to prevent more damage, a bit concerned about the paint match to get it repaired - considering getting some vinyl over the top just to protect it.
     
  13. Unfortunately stone chips can't be helped
    Its worsened by motorway driving too
    My front bumper currently looks like Daniella westbrook
     
  14. ^ lol
     
  15. I have just got some 3m sheats from eBay for this very purpose

    Mudflaps look pap tho
     
  21. Thats what i thought, but the OEM Renault, ones sprayed in body colour are fine, not noticeable at all.
    I had to get some when i noticed my stone chips getting worse and in my opinion the OEM ones are the best option out their, although you do have to get them sprayed / do it yourself in the body colour
     
  22. I bought mine with the vinyl things on my rear arch they don't look that nice! My mate who's just finished at BMW for 15 years has started his own place spraying did mine and it was a bloody good job. If anyone is near peterborough he's 10 mins outside of it I can put you to him to get them done
     
  23. its for sand back prime respray and lacquered. its up to the panel fold rather than the window. guys ment to be top notch for colour matching tho
     
  24. Cheers I'll look into it hopefully get it sorted
