where abouts are you based the bodyshop I use did Avtars painting and have done all the pianting on my 4,8sport the mrs 330 and various of my other cars?

Are tha parts you refering to textured in anyway as that adds onto the price is it requires a bit more work in order to get some smooth for painting, or are the parts already smooth so they just require primer and paint?

Interesting.....taking it completely off topic now (sorry all) your first pic clearly shows the efficient dynamics flaps behind the grill.......you might be the best person to give me a rough gauge of your economy. I havent got the flaps behind the grills and am trying to work out whether they have any effect on the economy
