I have just had my sprite blue 20VT resprayed in Romsey Hants and they have done an amazing job. The cost including refubishing the headlights sorting out a number of small bumps only £2K inc VAT. This was over £700 cheaper than two other quotes I had.

It has also had a Powerflow exhaust fitted today so all that is left to do is sort out the central locking and find a blanking plug for the one lost sometime ago.

No I decided (with their help) that it probably was not necessary and you would not tell they had not been out. There is also no overspray I or anyone who has looked at can find.

Here are some pics of just before they primed it:

I'd had major problems with a bad respray on the roof so they took the paint right back.

Reminds me of the billboard on the North Circular by the North Middlesex Hospital in 1997, "In Italy no one wants to grow up and be a train driver". I used to get caught up in the traffic while they rebuilt the A406 and marvel at that picture of the sprinty 20v turbo, thinking I want one soon. You know what...I got a silver one the next year and haven't let go of her.

I bought mine 10 years ago (one owner 30,000 miles) and still love it.
