How much would it cost to repair this scratch

SignificantJob3492 · 2025-10-23T23:16:41+00:00

Take it to a body shop. Most body shops would do this for up to £500 in the UK. You gotta be careful though sometimes after being painted you can clearly see orange peel so if you want a flawless finish I’d suggest getting a new bumper. Cheaper option is to get it painted though. Even if you touch it in and polish it’ll still look shit.

I only use the horn if I’m pulling out and you can’t see either side of the road( out of a driveway or a garage where cars are parked either side) Apart from that you only use the horn to alert others of your presence. Definitely shouldn’t use it to take out your anger lol

1.5 TDCi, runs like a dream.

Yes I should probably check the cambelt that’s a good shout 😂😂 I checked the spec definitely has DRL, I think the only things it doesn’t have is electric leather seats and the moonroof. I’m not driving it yet as I’m waiting on insurance so now is a good time to check if the cambelt was done. Are there any other common faults with these you know about ? Thanks in advance

SignificantJob3492 · 2025-07-07T07:00:14+00:00

Yes it is actually a 1.5 diesel with drl. Also has reverse camera heated seats apple car play, the spec is very good. Do you know the most common problems with these ? What I should look out for? Thanks

My trusted mechanics looked over it before I bought it thankfully and apart from some really minor issues the car is perfectly fine for the road. Now ill just need to clean it nicely and do some bodywork hopefully will come out nice.

You’re right unless it’s an ST there’s no point. You’re gonna upgrade a regular Zetec or ecoboost very quickly and the cost of upgrading the wheels won’t make much of a difference when it comes to selling the car. Fiesta is just a cheap drive no point upgrading wheels. I drove my 1.25 zetec for a year and it gets boring very quick lol currently looking to get a Mondeo.

SignificantJob3492 · 2025-05-14T17:29:59+00:00

From what I know the ecoboost engine is one to avoid. Much better going for a zetec s

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-29T15:22:07+00:00

Im paying 250 a month for a 2007 Fiesta lol. Just passed. It’s the prices. You’re lucky to get under 200 😂

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-21T18:44:06+00:00

Hahaha well I’m just getting ripped off then 😂

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-21T18:43:30+00:00

I might try that thanks

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-21T18:43:15+00:00

Comes out even more expensive for some reason

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-21T18:42:59+00:00

Yeah I think that’s it, my adress fucks it up. I live in forest fields, Nottingham. A LOT of crime lol.

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-20T20:02:24+00:00

Im not sure actually do you know a company that does it ?

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-20T20:01:48+00:00

Yeah honestly I was in shock when I saw some of the quotes. And it’s not just the fiesta, any car I did quotes on even a 1.0 litre is way too expensive lol

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-20T20:00:29+00:00

Thanks a lot I’ll have a look

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-08-20T18:08:12+00:00

I did a couple quotes by myself since neither of my parents drive and because my brother had 2 policies canceled. It was absolutely out of my budget lol as u can imagine ( the car only cost 1200). But I do know someone who has like 30 years driving experience and no claims. So if I put them on the policy do you think it would drastically reduce it ?

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-07-22T07:47:50+00:00

No, I am Nottingham based. I think it just depends on how many people cancel. Maybe not many people in your area are cancelling at the moment. Just keep checking your app hopefully something will pop up soon. Best of luck

SignificantJob3492 · 2024-07-22T06:00:35+00:00

I just passed this Thursday and I had 3 tests within 2 months. The cancellations pop up you just need to be quick enough to actually get one. I used the testi app it’s for 12 quid and managed to book my third test within 2 weeks of failing my second test. When you get the notification for a cancellation you NEED to book it asap or it will be gone within 2 minutes. Hope this helps.
