That looks great. Aslong as it's a decent job and always kept clean it'll look like a stunning example. I can see past that being a coupe and will look just as good.

That one above is stunning, I think the convertible suits Imola even better than the coupe though! When's it getting done Jambo?

List of things to be done:

1. Clean arches out, remove arch liners install new ones (purchased) then stone guard.
2. Clean and paint calipers
3. Finish my xenon headlamp build
4. Fit PDC for the rear (Poss for front as well if I can find a way of installing the E38 system)
5. Fit new roof (purchasd)
6. Thoroughly clean new roof, to remove all dirt and mold
7. Hope my windscreen cracks in winter so I can have a new ne fitted

Then paint it.

Personally would paint and then do all of the stuff you have said apart from doing the screens at time. Parking sensors fit before you paint the bumpers but when there off.

What's wrong with the standard colour? Cheaper if you don't colour change aswell which is a bonus?

Don't like the standard colour. Also recent quote I have gotten is marginally cheaper for colour change as its a solid vs. Metallic.

Want to do the roof first as that job could potentially damage the paint, parking sensors need holes drilling in tw bumper so want to do that before its painted. Could leave the arches I guess

They certainly look better on a California beach than on a driveway in Scotland.

Would rather cut up the bumper before taking it all apart again once it's all painted. That's just me though

To be fair, all those bold can be done after/during paint...
