The £90 MGF !

[MattGTA]

Just trying to work out what, if anything, to do with the peeling paint - its not a big deal but is quite extensively across both front wings and the bonnet.

Options are:

1) Get it sprayed up - local garage who I trust could probably do that for a reasonable price
2) Have a go myself
3) Whack a massive great smiley on there and be done with it !
4) Do nothing

All thoughts welcomed !

1) Involves spending money on your shed. Slippery slope, prone to ridicule when it borks the following day/week/month.

2) and 3) will both look rubbish

Stick with 4)

I tried to sort out peeling paint on an old car once. I just flatted it back with Wet & Dry and then lacquered it. Looked better afterwards but didn't last long. Ended up buying a new bonnet.

I'm not a fan of wraps, but I was a little tempted myself to have a go at it with my 'F'. Nothing to lose apart from the price of the vinyl.

[Barchettaman]

Leave it, the ghetto look works for me.

Wonderful buy. Well done.

[etchacan]

Stroke of luck that! Good spot, even better buy!

As long as it's not raining, hood down every time...

[Daston]

I would have a bash at plastidip.

Could probably do the whole car lol

Oh excellent purchase sir!

[longshot]

£87. Fantastic!

[MGRik]

Nice one OP! Enjoy the MG!

[Patch888]

Wow!

Insanely cheap. Great buy, whatever happens you've won.

[TREMAiNE]

Shedding at its best.

That costs less than a tank of fuel for me!

Nice work.

I bought something with MOT & Tax recently, immaculate inside & out. One family owner (father & son used it) full main dealer service history (no room for any more stamps), had new brakes all round, four new Pirelli P1s and was delivered with half tank of fuel...cost £200. Market value £2400.

Love a bargain and proves there are some still to be had.

MGFs have never been my cup of tea but they are a nice looking convertible cars with reasonable performance so should be great fun to drive.

That being the case, why are what appear to be perfectly serviceable examples selling for around £100?
Genuine question btw.
