I may finally be getting my hands on a pre-owned Elise after a year or so of looking for "the one". Unfortunately, however, despite it having everything I want, it also has some paint damage to the bottom of the nose. A "winglet" is scraped where it curves to the underside, and also the license plate area is scraped too. Also, on the rear clamshell lip (right above the exhaust area, there is a scuff mark.
None of these flaws are deal-breakers, but I would like to know if there is a way a body shop can repair them short of repainting the clams (no way do I want that done). Since the winglet is a seperate 'bump' and the rear lip is raised from the rest of the rear end, is it possible they could just repaint those areas and blend the color (Canyon Red Metallic) into the rest of the clam?
