ENHANCE

ENHANCE Contact us today to see how we can help. Nathan and Lisa We don't JUST carry out accident repairs and damage though, and not just cars either.

We are an award-winning small, family-ran, vehicle body repair business based in Carlisle, and we would love to help you ENHANCE your vehicle bodywork and interiors. We are fully trained and accredited with nearly 19 years' experience, in all aspects of vehicle body repair. From an alloy wheel refurb right up to a full vehicle respray or classic vehicle restoration, plus everything in between. We

specialise in motorbike body repair too, being bikers ourselves, including custom and replica designs. We can also ENHANCE your vehicle interior - restoring and recolouring leather, and repairing wear & tear, cigarette burns, and damage to fabric and leather seats, often saving customers hundreds of pounds compared to replacing or reupholstering. We can also refresh the full interior by carrying out an anti-bacterial flush, getting rid of lingering smells, germs and bacteria, and leaving your vehicle smelling like new! We will look after your classic vehicles; vans; caravans; motorbikes; bicycles; scooters (including mobility scooters); we've even painted go-karts and window frames! Fancy your wheels, or calipers, a different colour? Fancy your whole car a different colour? We can repair bodywork for MOT's, including welding. We can shot-blast items for a blank canvas. Fancy a sportier look? We can supply, paint and fit body kits. Please don't hesitate to get in touch to see how we can help ENHANCE your vehicle, or offer advice on a project that you're doing yourself. We would be happy to help.

๐ŸŒ€Cloudy๐ŸŒ€ or โšกscratchedโšก headlights?

Did you know they can be restored?

If your headlights are looking a bit dull or yellow, it may not be the bulb that's causing the issue.

Cloudy or scratched headlights can affect the brightness and angle of your lights, and can even be an MOT issue.

Restorations are quick and effective, so get in touch!

This is the Honda CB250 bike tank that we showed you getting stripped ready for repair on Wednesday.

As you can see, the previous paintwork wasn't in the best condition and there was some significant damage to the front of the tank.

The customer also decided that as they were restoring the bike and it was getting stripped and repainted anyway, why not change the colour!

The customer chose this beautiful 3 x stage Mazda colour - Crystal White.

How great does it look now!

Anybody else find this weirdly satisfying??

Sometimes the work we do is just easier to start with a blank slate.

This Honda CB 250 motorbike tank needed just that: stripped back to bare metal ready to repair, prep and paint.

Doris is back for her final day of her "glow-up", today showcasing her rear bench and new roof liner! ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ’ซ

Her roof liner was a bit marked and worn, and unfortunately beyond repair so we did the next best thing and upgraded her to a new one.

The rear bench was age-worn and slightly damaged so we re-trimmed it, matching the front seats and using the traditional "tuck and roll" method used on many classic cars.

We have loved showing off beautiful Doris for you this week! ๐Ÿ‘ต

If you have a classic (or modern!) project that needs some TLC to ENHANCE what's already there, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're here to help! ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Doris is back and this time she is showing off her lovely new door cards, interior handle straps and wheel arch covers.

Poor Doris had mis-matched door cards when she came to us - 3 x bright red and cream and one full maroon so we needed to sort this for her.

Each mis-matched door card also came with its very own mis-matched handle strap! And although this only made Doris more endearing, our lovely customer wanted her looking her best, matching the rest of the interior.

We recovered the bright red kick boards and B-Pillars, all four door cards and the wheel arch covers; and then made some brand new, matching door handle straps.

Following on from yesterday's post, here's Doris again showing off her new front seats!

The seats were showing their age: worn, torn and lost all structure and support in the backrest, so much so that the customer had to prop a blanket or scarf in place to add some support.

We stripped the seats down and restored the foams, steaming them back up, and re-secured the strappings, clips and trimmings to get the support back in them.

The seats were then re-trimmed in a beautiful, fresh cream fabric and the original maroon colour, rather than the bright red vinyl that had been used when they had been re-covered in the past, and we got them back to matching all of the other maroon accents in the vehicle and front dash area.

It's !!

๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽŠ Meet Doris.. ๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿ’

At nearly 70 years old this lovely Morris Minor was still looking fantastic other than a few age-related body issues and a very worn and tired-looking interior.

This was another fantastic project for us both to work our magic on ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿช„๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ

We replaced and/or restored the chrome components - bumpers, headlight surrounds, wing mirrors and stems - and replaced the door seals and weather strips.

The interior had been done before at some point, and the bright red vinyl that was used didn't match the original maroon accents in the vehicle and on the front dash. The door cards were worn and tired, and one of them was completely different to the other 3!

Within the interior, the seats were all fully reupholstered; the roof liner was replaced; the door cards were re-covered and new interior handle straps were made new and fitted, and the interior kick boards, wheel arch covers and B-Pillar trims were all re-covered.

Doris was restored just in time to be used as a bridal car, so we accessorised her with matching ribbon for the customer collecting her, to give the full affect!

We'll pop some more detailed posts on in the next couple of days, and please don't hesitate to get in touch to see how we can help with any ongoing projects you may have. We would be happy to help!

Good morning!

Now that things are a bit calmer here at Enhance HQ and we're no longer 7 months booked up, we can go back to offering estimates 5 days a week.

Appointments aren't necessary, feel free to pop down when it's suitable for you, but we do advise it.
That way, we're both available when you arrive. No waiting around while we're mid-paint or mid-stitch, we're not tied up with other estimates or handovers; the time is all yours.

We look forward to seeing you! ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ

We've been loving doing the bikes recently so it's another !

Another freshen up this week for this lovely 1970s Speedway bike, getting rid of those age-related marks and faded paintwork.

With no known colour code due to its age, it can be tricky trying to replicate the original colour. So we looked through our arsenal of thousands of colour swatches, found a close match and then tinted the colour accordingly in-house to get as close as we could so that both ourselves and the customer were happy (modern-day cameras never show true colours; the colour looks a lot closer in reality!).

Does your bike need a spruce up, or do you fancy a complete design/colour change? We're up for the challenge!

Don't hesitate to get in touch to see how we can help ENHANCE your vehicle.

Another motorbike done recently, this time no colour change or anything drastic - just a really good refresh on this lovely 40+ year old Kawasaki.

We don't just do resprays, custom designs and colour changes. Sometimes a good tidy up of stone chips, wear & tear and scratches can have just as much of an impact!
