Well some more news car is going for a few bits of paint on friday

I've seen a 'few bits of paint'.  You appear to be having a complete respray done.  You need to mind that detailing OCD - it can get out of hand. 

[Dave-iow]

Yes it jas got some what out of hand, althought its not a full respray! Not painting the passenger side or the rear boot plinth and below.

This was meant to be a cheap project
