Hmm.. I was thinking earlier, I've got a GSi kit to spray, Lil_g's bonnet when I get it, possibly my boot because I wan't it semi smoothed, and both sides of my car to get rid of the bumper strips..
How much do people think that will cost and is it worth just getting a full re-spray so that ill have a mint car?
Or at least a mint paint job lol.

Nice one mate 
So about £300 for both bumpers
Then £80 for the skirts sound about right?
Then £150 for the bonnet so £530
Hmm bit far off a respray but still would love a fresh paint job

yeah thats about right
tell them it'll be cash in hand
get it cheaper 
also for taking rub strips off shouldnt need sides repainting
they'll take them off, remove glue with a caraml wheel and polish it up, save having to get it painted if thats what you was after
