    For things like the bubble... you will need to get a proper job done on it or you'll only make it worse tbh. You'll need to sand it down, prime the area and spray it with a spray-gun ... wouldnt do it on my own car for a first time

    You won't get a good finish on a DIY repair but if you have left exposed metal or there is any rust, get it treated and protected before it gets much worse. A professional bodyshop will advise you to paint the whole panel but there are guys in vans who do chip repairs who might help. I'd say leave it alone.

    As for buying your (pimped) car, drop the price to a more realistic €3950 and you never know.

    Oh and the phrases 'Not modified' and 'sports suspension' don't tally either - is it or isn't it?

    Defo leave it alone as giving such jobs a lash usually makes the car look worse and would leave a potential buyer wondering what other DIY jobs might have been badly attempted or carried out.

    As well as that, unless you have somewhere warm and well ventilated messing about with spray cans and the like is not for the cold weather.
