Respray and Arches

Post by mikeydovey » Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:53 pm

Just had my 'Bethany' resprayed and the arches done by someone who recommended Brian Jordan Motors in Newport and he knew a bit about bongo's when I spoke to him.

The back arches needed work and I wanted it debadged, and the roof resprayed and the colour changed from green to black.

Brilliant job, really good work, took his time but the results were worth waiting for.

I know the photos before and after dont look that different but it was in dire need of TLC before I booked it in;

Hope the photos below work !

Cheers

The cost was just short of £2500, but worth every penny, especially with the little things done for the respray as well. (touch up here and there).

The reason I went with silver was because there is a VW further down the road that is all black and I like the fact it stands out with the roof being a different colour.
Plus the kids liked it 2 colour (enough said!)

Nice! Hat off to you for looking after your Bongo :) Is Brian Jordan Motors in Newport, Wales? Hoping he may be Newport, IOW as then may pay him a visit myself!

Yeah, in Wales, worth a nice trip over the water, drive and a couple of overnight stays :idea:

A lot of money on something cosmetic, but we didn't pay as much for 'Bethany' initially as anticipated.
