Dropped Sapphire into the highly recommended local body shop this morning for 2/3 days. If @Bernie likes them, it's got to be good. Both bumpers resprayed, stone guard sills, machine polish. Looking forward to seeing her on Friday! ;D  ;D

Do you mind me asking what kind of cost was involved in that work?

Yeh, not cheap but I wanted quality & they'd been highly recommended. Just both bumpers came to £500. Both sills were £300 plus machine polish & dreaded VAT came to 1k.The guy rang me up today to say there were holes under the sills where obviously previous owners had drilled out so that the TRD bodykit could be fitted >:( He's going use waxyol and fit rubber grommets in the holes to stop water getting in.

Hi @Chilli Girl cant wait to see what they do to Sapphire.

I was looking at the Beaulieu pictures the other day and thought how nice she looked, she is a lovely colour !


Chilli Girl

Yes, thanks @Mickemo, I like her shade. ;D

Well Sapphire is back home where she belongs.  At the exact time I collected her, the heavens opened up, literally flash floods, it was pelting down so after 8 miles of torrential rain I'm afraid she got rather dirty SO you'll have  to wait for pics once I've washed her.  Anyway, very impressed with BSA Bodyshop at Porton, Salisbury, now I know why @Bernie goes there! The bumpers are brilliant and the stone guarding really is excellent, I wholly recommend that you get your 2 done to protect the sills, what a difference and they pulled out the sill dent that someone very kindly did by using the jack in the wrong place! The machine polish has come up good too.  In two words I'm a very "Happy Bunny" ;D   Money well spent in my opinion!

Well I promised some pics, so here are some of Sapphire's resprayed bumpers and stone guarded sills (not a great pic but you can see why I'm chuffed to bits with it).  Unfortunately despite requesting them to debadge they forgot to remove the Toyota emblem but hey, there's worse things in life ;) You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

And yes, ignore the ears, it's the paintwork you're looking at. ;)
