where did u get this done, theres a lot of mitti in my Balenos meter too, but people here say meter khula hua hai, so theres some messing in the readings

[UsmanAnsari]

got it done from Sohail Car Seat & Accessories (shop name) Rashid Minhas road near UBL Sports Complex. Electrician who did all the stuff is Aqeel.

thats really hurts a lot.

Can't fathom why people post such incomplete information. Where did you get the work done? What was the name of the person? Any contact number or address of workshop? What procedure did he/she use? What tools did he/she use? What polishing compound did he/she use? How much time did it take?

Is there any info other than the expense of Rs. 300/- that has been communicated to others? Plz update your post so it is less of what you've done and more of a help to others.

Apology for replying late: the shop is near to Makro (Lines area) if you are coming from Defence after taking the bridge over Sh-e-Faisal take left down while coming down from the bridge look right there is Shop (shokat autos or Light repair) he repairs old Lamps for cars i.e: back light covers etc.

He removed the Headlight got them buffed on the rooter had a soft cloth on it, before buffing it he applied some chemical.

The person name is "Zeeshan" Dont have the contact number. The whole process took 1.5Hours

@Usman: I have been victim for this similer stupid act few days back will upload the pics later today, tried to remove it but no luck, looks like have to live with it .

The scratch is light. I mean when a car is keyed the key's jagged edges (or the pointed edge, whichever method is used) penetrate through all paint layers and actual metal starts showing, and yours is not that deep.

I don't have any experience of removing car-keying scratches (the menace is not that common here, plus my cars are way older than yours and already have 287395 scratches of all sorts, so even if somebody keys it I couldn't even notice). But in the other countries the problem is common and labour charges are very high so people try perform small repairs themselves (DIY). I tried searching 'repairing car keying scratches' and found many results. Popular Mechanics seems to favour @chinyoti's technique.

lagta hai carpet pay chalaya hai

[UsmanAnsari]

thanks for the advise ahsan, i will consult my denter as well regarding this but since he has moved his workshop & its totally out of my route so i will have to plan out a day to visit him..

[KamranAslam]

A surprise!!! after coming back from pharmacy in defence Market

[KamranAslam]

Can any one advise me a good cushion wala both rear door panals are messed up.

Also mention the estimate cost for repair/replace. I personally like the new VXRi ones wonder how much that costs...

[UsmanAnsari]

oops thats a small crack on the upper end of the bumper too... and for the cushions i dont know the exact place but heard that there are quite a few at Plaza market. However the shop i mentioned above (Sohail Car Seat & Accessories (shop name) Rashid Minhas road near UBL Sports Complex) can also be considered regarding this as he has some good knowledge & its easily accessible from CBM too!

[KamranAslam]

Rashid Minhas road near UBL Sports Complex

Where is this place if you can guide me with more detailed directions. ??

Yeah the creck is bad, a bumper fixing guy asked for Rupees 300. and I have a small tinn pack of colour with me will take care of this later.

for the scretches they are more visiable on your car than mine casue of the colour. on my car they are some more put do not get that much visiable most of the times.

[UsmanAnsari]

my bad i mixed up the CDS with CBM CDS is at Nipa which is close to the shop i mentioned above... CBM is in another world.

[ZEBNO]

I want to sell my ride, any idea about the market price these days?

PS: Car is not in excellent but at very good status.. about 140000km done..bonet & fenders are showered..

Usman what do you say how much it worth?

Yes! its Peshawar registered..& available in Islamabad.
I am going to start a thread in buying selling section, want to know a little bit about the price these days..

[UsmanAnsari]

^ its a 2000 model right? market up there in Islamabad is better than Karachi, but then depends on the ride condition as well. Zubair sold his 2001 in 4.75k so yours can also fetch around 4.50... In Karachi though its hardly 4.0!

[azykhan]

pls any one can tel me about mitsubishi luncer 2001-2005 parts price defrents bcs i heard that mitsubishi is a expancive car is it rghit?

[UsmanAnsari]

^ usually spare parts aren't made by local vendors for Mitsubishi so most of the parts come from Japan, hence expensive!

[Zubair530]

Usman, my car was in outclass condition, i'll give 9.5/10 to it and that's why got that much, one of my friend bot 2005 Model for 5+...
Zeb, the price fetched depends mostly upon the status of the car...
