Depends, most places wont bother to want to spray it, smal and fiddly, but probably like Ã‚£30 / Ã‚£40.... :/

Im going to do mine myself, just on a break from sanding it now, Need to pop of and get the right primper and paint :/

Pete "Someone post me their old grill" ???

I need that for when i crash!!! AHHAHH :laugh:
