to remove you're looking at 2 screws and a pull, 5 min job tops.

i was going to try and do mine, but wanted to source a spare in case i fooked it up, should be getting mine done end of the month by a shop though

leeroy20vt gave us the hook up with a sprayshop he knows in kent and i'll be getting the valances done, side skirts fitted and sprayed at the same time, all in for £270  :cool:

i'd imagine you would be looking around £150 tops to get them done properly, and if you think you'll be looking at spending atleast £50 on primer, rattle cans & laquer then £10 for a "test" valance getting it done by a pro isn't that much more.
