Cheers, it is a top job, any work i need done to my car i always go back to him. it was 400 pounds but that included getting a nasty dent in the rear wheel arch, that some dick decided to leave, fixed which required respraying of the rear quarter panel. So for the colour codeing alone i would say 250 - 300ish. I am well pleased with it

Nice! Was considering colour coding on mine but wasn't sure how the paint would hold up against stone chips.

I WANT THOSE RIMS!!!!! THEYRE THE ONES I WANT! :lol:

Stone chips are a worry, the surround to the wing mirrors are the most vulnerable as to make the finish smooth alot of paint had to be put on it. Although the man who did it had paint left an gave it to me in a tin so i can fix any chips.

I have also taken to parking my car far away from other cars, sometimes even in two spaces :D because i don't know how the painted rub strips will hold up to some ignorant ****** opening the door of his 20 year old heap onto my car. lol

I love my alloys, although if you get them i would advise not getting the same profile of tyres as 35s are too small!!!!

What make and size are your alloys? I too have put 16 spoke 17 inch wheels on which look similar to yours.

Fantastic job done. Just look at the reflections on the second and the fourth photo. I think that even the -factory painted-facelifted model does not look that good.
And something irelavant but nevertheless worthmentioning. The lights are far better on the original model rather than the new ones. I dont know but it seems to me that they finish the complicated design in a more appropriate way. I dont know..... But the bumpers are simply amazing!
I wish we could get that sort of quality also in Greece....

Where did you get this done? was thinking of doing the same thing to mine

I got them done by a man called Alan Sommerville. But i live in Northern Ireland, so unless you live here, or fancy a holiday over in sunny N.I, then you might need find someone else to do the work.

Did he just spray the grey part of the bumper or did he spray the whole unit?
