Just worried about cocking it up and making it worse, bit of a novice when it comes to paint!

It is a great feeling to do the work yourself, and cheaper ;)

If you don't rush and take your time and remember that prep is the important thing you'll be fine as long as it's prepped right and start with light even coats you'll be laughing at the bodyshops and feel proud that you've done it yourself

I guess there's no harm in trying, it'll cost the same at a body shop whether I screw it up or not I suppose :p

Hmmph, another thing to add to the summer job list!

Be a nice list eh ;)
My list starting on 31st is as follows
Take plastidip of boot smooth properly and respray
Fit diffuser after respraying the white bit black
Paint and fit side skirts
Raise the car 10 - 15 mm
Paint calipers white
Finish interior of

Big list 9 days gotta get ready for stanford haha
 
Raise the car?! That's a new one :p

Will look good, some big changes there! Good luck keeping your calipers white though haha.

Haha I no it'll be a pain in the arse to keep them white :p I wanna raise it cause I keep catching the exhaust :( plus when the skirts go on they'll be more at risk of scuffs or worse ripped of :( and that's not a cool look :p

How low is it now?

I hit my skirt on something recently, and that's just on 40mm springs.

Coilys should be a laugh on these roads.
 
Some better shots taken earlier today on my break/home time via a mates house :)
