My car is in good nick, only a couple of light scratches, I wanted bits smoothed and arches done more than anything

I won't wrap mine that's for sure, could end up hiding a multitude of sins over time, and none are good metallic colours

Mine was £1800 and I think its worth it Thought about a wrap but im just not keen have seen a few different wraps and not for me...

What you need to decide is how long are you planning to keep the car and what your willing to put it because I tell ya once you start your wallet will get light!

I think I will save and respray it as I tend to keep it and although I would love some mods I can't do both, and I have to live within my means.... If only the car wasn't buggered when I bought it :( £1700 in the end!!! That's the respray  :angry:

I had mine almost fully done not an amazing job but its 100% better than it was and it was a cheap job for me.

I was in a similar boat to niño where we knew someone who have us a massive discount. We had my sisters clio fully painted (minus the roof) and body tidied up for £600 and it was a top top job. The fella resprays all sorts of cars from feraris to mag featured GTR's. But I would expect to pay nearer £1500-£2000 usually.
