did you have anythig wrong with the car on the day of the shoot, bodywork wise???? did it show up on the camera????
reason being fast car rung this morning and still want to feature my car but since the saw it the rear bumper has dropped on 1 side due to a snapped bracket, and a bit of sinkage where the numberplate light used to be in the bumper, also n the front bumper and bonnet theres a few bad stone chips and 1 of the ends of the cross bar on bumper has snapped and the bumper has dropped of the location pins so abit out of line. carnt really afford to get it fixed at the moment either  ??????

i would have said no... but that sounds quite bad.
The stone chips are nothing to worry about.. nor the sinking of the light.
but the bumpers dropping...hhhhhhhmmmmmm
Dont know about that one

There is an invention called photoshop that they use to touch up most of the feature cars.

had a quote from bodyshop £200 to fix everything, would be worth it though, as i want it in perfect condition when its featured.
did you have anything you were worrid about showing up???

Yes, I was goint to say that. When you see feature cars in the flesh they are often a plie of crap, ill fitting bumpers, crap smoothing etc

tbh mate - its nto as bad as u make out - u dont notice back bumper particularly - only we do - and if I can get back b4 the shoot - I'll fibreglass the bracket back on for u - temporarily but should work okay
front bumper wont show up, neither wil lthe sinkage - its really light. finally what stone chips - uve got nothing major wrong - fair enough its not in tip top condition - but it shows u use it - unlike some feature cars which are always stored - Id worry about getting this damn tv to me next time Im home and getting ur wheels retrimmed - apart from that ur making out to be worse than it is

I'll do back bumper - but have to see with front shouldnt be too hard - weel get ur car up on axle stands in nell's bodyshop, then get on the job with the glass fibre, shouldnt be much harder than rear - apart from access to the mounting points
god ur gonna owe me some favours after this  u can just come sanding wwhen I pull my finger out -being the master sander that u are
