How much to spray? and who you thinking of using? I reckon a top notch spray job will be £100-150 , will use a guy I know down in Derby who sprayed my rear spoiler. (has done other work for me as well ) not cheap but does 100% job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks for that hanel Great stuff .. yes certainly looks different Will be interesting to see what it looks like in the flesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 the 06's apart from having a different grille (less stripes) they have a different type of plastic, which looks like it's coloured! Looks nice. Why not spray it, but metallic black? so you don't lose the meanness and still get rid of the cheap plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Guess the only thing with spraying it is to get the quality right, so that you don't get that crappy flakey effect, where you'd have paint then black plastic showing through....... Be interesting to see.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Noooooo! IMO it'll take all the aggression from the front of the car and runs the risk of making look a bit blobby. Sorry, Tim, don't like the idea at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
