Yeh its pretty pricey. The materials arnt cheap. The paint alone would be £20-30 to buy. Then you have all your filler / time, primers clear coat, sanding disks etc.N0KKA said:

Need to remove the badge and get a plate welded then smoothed otherwise it will sink. As the heat from the engine causes the filler to sink.

i was looking for the entire thing sprayed. or atleast the front end tidying up (stone chips) and one rear arch has a scrape on it.
Oh I had a fantastic time cleaning mine the other day. Bought a new hoover so I had to put it through it's paces I'm gonna give mine a quick 5er car wash on the sunday morning before I leave, so god I hope the weather stays this way. You joining the convoy at Queensferry I take it?
