Did you need to fill it as well as paint the full roof panel Jon? The body panels seem to dent so easily on these cars - but then suppose all modern cars are the same in this respect.
Hoping to get mine back on Friday - work is finished apart from the wheel refurb so wont be long!

Hi Jon

You missed that one m8 , could have gone with an union jack on the roof or black & white checks .

Is it me or are the hard core members dropping like flies , Steve-uk vs old git in golf cart , Bodyman vs house brick , i was rear ended but i was in the other car (too close) , lets hope that was the 3 and not the start of something bigger .

Cheers

Andy

Hi Steve.

Yes, two dents as the brick hit and rolled across the roof. I forgot to get the image at the repair stage. Hope yours goes well.

I know this is an old thread. (Had fun reading all the old posts)

I'm looking at a possible re-srpay of the roof too.... I got a huge scratch across the top (don't know how it happened)

Just wondering how much it cost to get it done? Just so I can budget for it.

Kind Regards

Max

Hi Max.

The Crossfire has quite a small roof, so I would budget around £200.00 all in.

Cheers

Ok thanks Jon

Got a few very minor dents in the doors as well...didn't see them until i took it to a place who will try to take out the scratches for me, the bloke said I might need a respray on the roof for that deep scratch.

Will save up some pennies then for the respray if the buffing and polishing won't work.

Thanks!
