your not wrong about turning heads, at least once a day someone will speak to me or give me a thumbs up for the metro.

same lol but people tend to go on about the ones they had especially when you need to get somewhere

I had some random guy shout across a busy road yesterday about mine, said you dont see many of them any more lol gotta love metros!

well i have only ever had one bad comment about mine what was from a 40 year old chav on the doll. he was soon moved after several members from various clubs told him where too go before i could say anything!

i was stuck in some traffic the other day when a couple of blokes in a van were signaling to me to wind the window down, i did so expecting abuse as they looked like chav morons, but i was very pleased when they were in raptures over the little metro!

 

we need a metro sub-section on this forum, or at least one for mini derived cars?

anyway, just a little update, there has been a dent on the door under the mirror ever since i bought it (the first time, remember i have owned it twice now!)

 

i had a few hours spares at the end of the day this week so decided i would sort it out. pulled it out, filled, smoothed, primed, painted, and polished.

 

dent...... i know its small but it was very annoying!

 

dent be gone!.....i know it looks like its still dented under the mirror but i assure you thats just the shadow.

 

there is a really small dent on the drivers wing which im going to have to do too, about time i got round to doing them i think!

i have just stripped and resprayed teh fuel cap too as it was a little scabby along the one edge. its nice to finally get round to some of th elittle marks on the bodywork. i think i never did them earlier as they were so small, but with a classic car show coming in a weeks time i want her looking her absolute best when she goes on display
