We also do little bits
Bikes are a good example where we don't often see the whole vehicle, and when enthusiastic owners have stripped the parts down themselves and bring parts in for repair or personalised paint work. No Prizes available for guessing what make bike these parts are going back onto, unless you know the exact model.This orange makeover completely transformed the bike in question making it stand out from others of the same model simply because of have a non-standard colour professionally applied to all relevent parts.Certain crash helmets are not permited by law to be painted, but not all of them.
These have ben repainted and then laquered.Even the flames are painted on with a smooth laquered finish.
So when you get take your bike off the road for winter (I know, I know, we don't all do it!) thast's the perfect time to strip it down in the comfort of your own home and bring bits along for tidying up or total transformation.

We also do normal cars
A Beautiful M3 BMW needed a little TLC following some tyical car park damage. This Land Rover was Grey but the owner needed it to be completely resprayed white.
This is a very rare Mercedes indeed, limited to just 300. Other than the extra special engine we gave the car a full respray and in the process made many repairs to the irreplaceable bodykit and spoiler whih sadly was showing it's age.

At DPW it's not all about modified and classic cars, we also do a lot of repair work to normal cars, we're very competitve with our pricing policy so give us a call with your requirements.
The First Big Project - Mini Cooper+Carbon Fibre
Right at the beggining of DPW history there was a 1997 Mini Cooper, already benefitting from 1380cc power and a large bag of race spec performance modifications the owner wanted more in the bodywork department, a lot more. Over a period of 10 weeks the bodywork standard car was stripped of much metal work and replaced with carbon fibre, making massive weight saving gains and also creating an individual look. Roof, doors skins, boot floor, rear valance, entire front end, bonnet, interior components, all have required individual modifcations to be fitted safely, securely and to a high quality finish.
The whole car benefitted from a full respray in Nigh Fire Red, front and rear number plates are painted on.The Carbon Fibre front end hinged to the car meant that the engine benefitted from various parts being sparyed to match the car.
The Dash board was made form customer supplied Carbon Fibre panels trimmed to recreate the classic Mk1 look. Roll cage painted in unique hybrid paint created for the car specifically, also used on wheels.Carbon Fibre seats also detail painted.Secondary Fuel tank fitted, painted along with relocation of washer bottle also benefitting from repainting.
