Decided to give the willy a respray as its picked up a few chips and scratches over the years. It went to the bodyshop Thursday and I will get it back in a fortnight and I can't wait. I'm going to get the wheels re-furbed too, but want to know if anyone knows a decent place in Essex / Kent that will do the diamond cut rim and a pretty good colour match?

It'll be just like new! 8)

Its costing £1750. Its external only, but they remove all the windows and stuff to ensure no overspray. Not worth getting the internal bodywork sprayed the same colour imo as it would cost far too much. He seems to be a very good sprayer from what I have seen.

Yup, standard. I'll get the wheels re-done, already replaced the PAS pump. Brings the total spending this month to £2500 or thereabouts :shock: Better start driving the thing. Only put 200 miles on it in the last year! :cry:

Get the car back tomorrow! Saw it at the bodyshop yesterday and the paint looks good. They are just putting the bumpers and stuff back on and the windows back in. Just need to get the wheels re-furbed now! :D

How are the wheels done? Are they lacquered? Is the rim diamond cut too? Sounds like a good price!

I got the car back but haven't taken any proper pictures. Will take some this weekend if the weather is nice. I gotta say, it looks fantastic. The colour match is spot on and the bodywork is as straight as a die. It weren't cheap, but it was well worth it. I'll stick some new plates on it and get the wheels refurbed next month (funds permitting). Haven't stopped grinning since I first see it!

Fatboy, please could you PM me the guys number. Thanks.

Here she is at the bodyshop.
