I can't justify paying £180 for it being sprayed, I'll keep it it and when I get a spare bit of ££ and I'll use it for the mk5 handle mod tbh but for £30 the rust patch in mine really annoys me lol

Thats an expensive quote. Laquer is lifting on my spoiler and I'm going to a reputable place who do mercs, lambos etc and I'm having:

Rust around rear window sorted, window out job and then boot resprayed
Spoiler resprayed
Mirrors resprayed as a freebie

And thats costing me £200.

That lot without window out would be £130... may be worth getting some other quotes :)

try heating it up and use like a cheese wire to slide right underneath.. might scratch paintwork but your not bothered about that..
