HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!

This is the mess that has been left by that horrible aero filler cap:



As you can see there's a ring where it used to be and paint has flaked/peeled off in places.

Is this an easy repair? How much approximately for a decent job by a body shop?

Also am I missing anything around the filler cap? Or is it supposed to look like that?

This is what the side repeater holes look like:



Could these be repaired or would it be easier to blank them off and smooth the wing like de-locking? Again how much?

Thanks for the replies.

3 shades of white? Where's that?

Is the surface rust on the door the two bubbles just to the right of the RS? I hope that's just water!

Unless your car was registered before 1986 (so it would have to be an 85-C latest) you cna't remove the wing repeaters completely, as MOT law is any car that left the factory with them or any car made after 01-01-86 must wear side repeaters.

some girl come to see me last week about doing a repair to
her rear quarter panel and door on a 2 door 206 peugeot
she hit a post right on the b piller and pust it in so much it
is close to having a new rear quarter on it, i told her it would be
about £550 then she told me she can get it done for £250

how the hell do some peaple do it it was going to cost that much for
paint etc never mind my time on it

I'm think I'll probably take a chance and hope for a lenient testing station, it's not like it's a major issue.

Hopefully I'll be fine!

Just had a look at the V5 and it was first registered on 17th December 1985, so does this mean I DO NOT need side repeaters for an MOT?

Rs Baz

i would say it would be o.k for you to leave them of

Yeah I think I'm going to get the holes blanked over, they look better without in my opinion anyway.
