Post by: welshgar on 19 June 2006, 17:50: im not having it done (yet) cos i thought it was expensive (LOL)

how wrong i was....im trying to hold out for a bora front end conversion, but the missus doesnt like them too much (and she drives the car most of the time..blah blah blah)

so when i get the front end in, i was going to get it sprayed then.
