    i was quoted a while back of the lower vinal (SR) ?20 supplied and ?40 supplied and fitted, thought that was cheap.

    It isn't that hard to fit your self either, just mix up some washing up liquid and water in a spray bottle and get a good squeegee and your away.

    Paint can't create the same look as Vinyl, especially hand-sprayed stuff using a rattle can

    i've spent 1400 on a respray, dont think i be hand spraying it black, plus the vinyl looks alot neater.

    About giving it a try, just about got the orignal gte door stickers from vaux, as there are extremely hard to get these days, so wnat it done with a piece of mind,

    But paying 140 big ones for a job like that, can you imaging what the bootlid would be worth after
