MG MGF Technical - Stone Chips
| I'm getting quite a few stone chips on the front end of the bonnet.Has anyone got any recommended solutions to this problem without going to the expense of having the whole bonnet resprayed?? |

| Search the archives for Langka, then buy yourself a touch up stick. Darren. |
| Darren |
| But make sure it is the right touch up stick (check the colour code as well as the name) Halfords will mix you a stick if you have HAM (original MGF BRG, but not the rover BRG that halfords stock) or any onther other colour not in their stock. Will |

| Langka is available from Frosts...website www.frost.co.uk They have a good mail order service,plus a superb catalogue of retouch/polish kits |
| Bob (aka The Blue Max) |
| Bob you should be on commision from Frosts. I was sceptical about it. But since my F has 400,000,000,000 stonechips I bought it........... bl00dy brilliant only 56,000,000,000 chips to go A PRODUCT THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Thanks for the recommendation : ) Ian |
| Ian |
| Not sure how good they are but Halfords(spit) do a complete stone chipping service for £99. Anyone tried it? Seems pretty good value to me |

| Yep the Langka does work for chips, but I have tried it on a few scratches (also in BRG) and the result was not so good. Even working only perpendicularly as it says. But for chips... well worth it! Paul |

| Check out the franchise Chips Away. Many people from the Elise board have had nothing but good to say about them. |
