Hi All, New Member

Just joined the site today.
can anyone tell me if they have used the company chips away, i have a very small dent and chip in the drivers door and they have come up with a decent price.
thanks. :

Hi welcome to f6oc

I've not heard of chips away have you tried googleing for reviews on them?. Have you tried dent devils we get them in at work but I'm from north east so may not b around your area

n wat u drive? Get sum pics up

[T5ORKY]

Thanks for the reply Denmondo.
i will google them today,i am in the south Manchester area and drive a silver mk6 fiesta 2007 3dr 1400 model,only had it a year and very impressed with it.
chips away are the only ones around here that seem to do the dent and the chip,loads of companies do the dents but not both.i need to do some research before i let anyone loose on my car.

thanks again.

Hi and welcome to F6OC

Sorry I not heard of them to but im from south wales so wont have heard of them.
Ask around someone has bound to have used them

Get some pics up

[nosnow3]

ive never heard of them ether.. to be fair there isnt many comapines that travel up and down the length of the country...

[T5ORKY]

Thanks for the replys.
I will get some pictures up as soon as can.
I have ordered the window stickers and will spread the word about the site.
As for the dent and chip i got a quote today from my local ford repair centre £685.00 for a dent the size of a 5p coin.Will look into more affordable options.
Have any of you got mud flaps fitted ? I do a lot of cycling and sometimes have to go on dirt tracks full of mud,i was thinking they may help.

[welshtony]

I had rally type ones on my old car and I hated them. I do how ever like standered
ford ones. I think they look good. Yeah you right they might help.

And £685 I got my dent pulled almost all the way out for £10 at a show.
Reason why it only almost is cos where it was. But I was happy enough

[T5ORKY]

[T5ORKY]

Hope this has worked.

[nosnow3]

Edited for you... Looks Nice

[T5ORKY]

Thanks,i will try and do it right next time.

Sorry about the tree growing out of the roof,i should have taken the pic from the front.

[nosnow3]

Don't worry.. for some users this is one of there first froum's as long as youve got the car... you can join and we can help fill in the little bits you dont know... after all it is a car forum But we can help with other little bits too!

and I never thought a second thing about the tree.. although now you mentioned it... Youve got a tree on your roof rack... Trees must be low

[T5ORKY]

I am always looking at any pics i take for faults.
I will post more pics whe the stickers arrive,as for then i will be looking for ideas what to do with the car (money allowing) in performance and looks.
I have the dent and chip to sort out next but if you chaps have any thoughts let me know.
The car is a 1400 freedom model the one with the bluetooth and little extras they chuck in, with around 18000 on the clock the warranty has just run out so i could start changing things around a little.

[denmondo]

Nice car m8. Looking forward to seeing progress

[nosnow3]

lowering would be my first thoughts towards your car...

as for performance it depends how far you want to go... you wont squeeze much out of the engine without spending major money... and even then its cheaper to get the engine change....

if it was me and i wanted it too look better.... for me it would be Couler code all the Exterior plastics (I Spotted your boot grab handle and door handles are done... that leaves mainly the Washer jets and Bump Stripes) Lower and find some Nicer Fiesta Wheels... I prefer the OEM look, you could go and get an ZS/ST bodykit fitted too... but depends how far your looking to go

[T5ORKY]

Thanks for the ideas.
any good sites for the wheels to check out cost. As for the trim how would i get a colour match or will they sell the trim for the colour of my car ?
I have noticed on the site the rear wiper arm has been changed on some of your cars where do i get the arm from ?
ive lost touch with all the bits you can get this is my first car in 7 years after driving the company van for so long,and the last car i did any major work to was my mk1 escort 20 years ago (i do miss that car ).

[nosnow3]

If your up for spraying yourself halfords paint should be good enough... but i know of a few places they spray and fit them for you...

Bottom and on next page for pre primered door moulding Ford Parts Make sure you buy the 3 Door ones...

For the Smooth rear wiper look check out Ebay... ether buy an astra one or search for fiesta rear wiper...

[T5ORKY]

Thanks

I have found the wipers on e-bay for 9.99,as for the trim pre primed and paint matched sounds the best route to go down.will look into it.

thanks

again.
