whens it due back from respray mate?? and if you dont mind me asking, how much is it for respray, (I assuming it wont be as expensive as usual as its being re-done in the same colour)

about 2 weeks .. got my m8 doing it .. allthough im away next week on holiday so only one week to wait when i get back.

hes charged me £600 all in inc paint etc ... i dunno if thats good or not but its cheapest quote i got lol ... it would have been cheaper but due to the cars current condition alot of prep work needs to be done.

as for the wheels i got my corsa sri 16" ones going on when it comes back ... but they will only be on until i can afford some force 10's

[DaveMark-GSI]

don't worry got a nice normal gsi one going on with Opel badge not vaux should make it a little bit more unique

 

[Ben]

[DaveMark-GSI]

Dave

 

[Ben]

aint a bad price, although i wouldn't call it mates rates. get mucked in yourself, learn something as well as saving money

 

[loko]
