It isn't far off most the car!  Both sides bar the drivers door, both wings, bonnet & bumpers. So apart from the drivers door roof and tailgate it's all painted. Plus courtesy car and full machine polish.

I know I could have got it cheaper, but this is a BMW approved bodyshop, using BMW paint and a top workshop with all the gear. After my mk4 I wanted to know it was going to be a pukka job, let's just hope it is!!  :undecided:

And before i haggled the price it was £1450 and that was still with 15% discount!   :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Sorry mate.

I read it as the splitter grille and bonnet!

Dont know how i come to that conclusion. lol.

Longer the car is left in primer before paint, the better the finish mate. And the longer it is left to rest the better. Dont just rush it! And be careful when you get it back with how u wash it, and products etc.

You will become anal paint man. I did. lol

Well when I went in this afternoon after not recieving a phone call I presumed it would not be ready. They said they were giving it a clean basically, went to check to see if it was ready but then told me it wouldn't be ready until 5pm. I couldn't be bothered to wait around for an hour so just buggered off and said i'll try and pick it up tomorrow, orr failing that it'll have to be thursday as the misses is using the courtesy turd to get to and from work so may not make it down in time tomorrow  :cry:

Got my suspicious head on though wondering if something has happened which needed attention?   :undecided:

Good thing's come to those who wait I guess!
