Umm no but I'm expecting it to go primer today-ish :d
UPDATE
I finished off cleaning the front and rear screen last night, I went over all the glass with a stanley blade and then with a abrasive glass polish and a final clean with spirit, glass cleaner and microfibre cloth. Boy are they clean now.
And I found out they are actually tinted. You can hardly tell when they're fitted, unlike my bros Cav which is obvious that it's tinted green.
Anywho, the pics...
Rear screen, great condition

The front glass is in real good condition, much better than I thought it'd be. Only blemish is the slight scratch marks at the top. Looks like one of the wipers had lost it's rubber and the metal must've rubbed against the screen (this was done before my family bought the car).

It was nightmare on ball ache street trying to remove the non curing seal on the front rubber, got it absolutely everywhere. Not 100% removed but its cleaner than before.
Will be popping down to the bodyshop in a bit.
-
even if not 100% still your making a go of it thats glass is like new! will we be seeing it at any shows this year then?
-
True mate, at least I had a go, but I'm still suffering. This sealant is still on my fingers lol Really dunno about shows this year mate, would like to attend but cannot guarantee much atm.
Went to the bodyshop. They had some delivery van to sort out, big company so they had to get that done and out asap. I should see primer on it tomorrow.
I did however spot my boot lid rubber seal so I grabbed that to clean it up and took off the brown vinyl on the A pillar. Thinking to refinish them in black fabric. Will have a play with that tonight. If I can pluck up some courage then I may have a bash at tinting the side quarter glass.
-
You taking the front bumper off for paint and the B pillar stripes? Looks like theyre going to town on it.
Whats the clio V6 in for?
-
its crap when you think its going to have more done when you get there haha like mine he kept doing rush jobs like all grey was going to be done today but dint get round to doing bottom till tomoz lol
-
Yep, snowplough should be off, most likely tomorrow, B pillar vinyls too.
I'm pleased that they are doing a lot of work on it. TBH I wasn't expecting them to go over it with such a fine toothcomb. I mean, they found stuff that I never realised was there.
The Clio is in for a front end, it got smashed up. New bonnet and passenger wing and no pattern parts available for it, genuine bits :eek: . Plus it was resprayed by someone else and wasn't done well so they'll be blowing over it. Sounds great though, only thing I like about it :)

that is so true he found dents in my roof and boot that i never sawlol
-
Coincidently mate, I too had dents on the roof skin. Pretty much where the B pillar is. Think Mowgli may be right in saying many Novas suffer from this.
-
yes mine was there but u would never have seen them
-
I could see them once he pointed it out to me. I thought I saw a dent in the roof a while back but then I thought 'naa probably just seeing things' lol
It's the one on my passenger front wing and on the boot that I totally missed.
