well tbh i got an awesome deal as i know the bloke matt quite well not like best mate well but i know him and asked him how much to do in his own time as its his business aswell for cash in his pocket!!

he needed it 3 fri days so 2 1/2 weeks and charged me £650 \:P that was evrything bar the roof as he said it will machine polish up like new anyway. that waa sorting out a few little dents and a weird little ripple on the crease of passengers door. .

im well chuffed with job for only £650

That's a good price I would say. Looking forward to seeing the finished car.

Kind of ironic that the your paintwork was done by a guy called Matt. Does he live in Glossteshire?...Is he Polish?

Sorry, I'll be off now............

Looks and sounds better in the flesh... ;\)

Still can't believe that respray was only £650. And you never did say how much those seats weigh.

Stunning! I'm very jealous!
One thing I would do though is get some new number plates, they look a bit dated.

That only cost £650 to do, i have to get mine done sometime. Did you have all the door shuts done and engine bay, stuff like that or just the main bodywork.

Following a sneaky peak at the Oxford meet I can confirm there was a nice (10mm at a guess) spacer fitted.

Indeed, it is a very nice all-round Coupe.

Only spoiled but that unsightly pin dent next to the fuel cap \:P ;\)

Luke did you have all the door shuts done, and any other parts.

hedge - did you get yours done in the end?

a DECENT respray should cost upwards of £1500, and over £2k of they are removing bumpers and glass to do a full job.
