Most of us at one time or another scratch or graze a car bumper, maybe at the supermarket or on a bollard, or maybe even someone else scratched yours.

Since when repairing car bumpers it is essential to match the colour exactly thats why you need to visit a specialist in car bumper repairs. BodyMech Stoke have been repairing plastic bumpers for over 15 years and are well established.

We took our Golf there to repair a bumper scuff and were very impressed by the finish and quality. Garry, who runs the outfit was very pleasant and ensured that the paint was matched to the rest of the car – you can’t tell.

How did it happen? Well I’m not sure but I found black rubber all on the bumper and a few ripples. I can only guess that someone has scraped a big tyre across it.

I’d have no hesitation in recommending BodyMech for all your car bumper repairs because a) the work quality is excellent b) they are competitively priced.

BodyMech are based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and provide car bumper repairs to cars, motorbikes, vans and most other vehicles.

Give them a call if you’ve had that ‘oh no’ moment when you’ve discovered some squifter has raked their wheels across your bumper.

We have had a Rolls Royce Sales Brochure made available to us. It dates from 1905 and is about the same size a a postcard. We have scanned it and want to share it with the world: it’s over 100 years old and relates to an age of motoring that we don’t appreciate these days. Here are just a few random quotes you can find in the brochure.

Rolls Royce Brochure 1905“The Power: It is transmitted from the engine to the back wheels by simple gear wheels running in oil: CHAINS, with all their objectionable features of noise, wear and tear, etc. have been ABOLISHED.”

“The Brakes: Are independent, extremely powerful, act EITHER FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS, and do not rattle.”

“It is not necessary to employ a skilled and expensive CHAUFFEUR. The mechanism of the “R&R” car, as already explained, is so simple that the merest novice can learn it throughout in a few hours”

The owner recently had it valued on the BBC Antiques Roadshow.
