De Tango sad story
Well finally decided to DeTango the front, I have to say if i had known what a B$&tard of a job it was i would have left well alone.
Anyway job went well with the exception of catching the offside wing corner as i pushed the light out.....Subaru paint being what it is i now have the corner of the wing a nice colour of galvanised steel.
Please can you tell me who locally (Newport/Cardiff) can return the wing tip to its former WR Blue glory ?

sorry to hear that patkin - word of advice for anyone else taking out the lights - put insulation tape over the corners and on the bumber under the light - will help to avoid skratches and chips

I've got a small jar of WR Blue paint as well (02C), left over from when I had my front grill sprayed. Good colour match, you can have it if you need it.
Let me know, I live in the Vale, work in Bridgend but also go to Cardiff a lot (including this weekend) if you want to pick it up.

Cheers for the responses guys I'll PM a couple of you before I return to the UK so I can make sure you'll be free. Bridgend's not a problem, I'm only in Barry (when I'm home that is) so not too far
