Being a bit of a fusspot over having everything spot on I'm now thinking of a full repaint. I was going to get the bumper bonnet and wings done to get rid of the stonechips but now thinking of just doing the whole lot.

Anyone gone down this route and not regretted it?! I think the car is a keeper, it's low mileage and mechanically absolutely spot on.

Also any recommendations in the south east be useful. I've used a bodyshop before on a front bumper and whilst their work is impeccable it's not cheap :cry:

I have used custom coach works in Burgess Hill completed a respray on my rear bumper and machine polished the bonnet to remove swirls. No issues and pleased with the results. Speak to Steve the MD there.

Pilch - do some before and after pics if you decide to get a respray!

When did you have that done? How much if you don't mind me asking? PM details if you want :)

I had mine fully resprayed this time last year - had very bad lacquer peel on red car. Was just going to get the effected panels done but like you the cars a keep so went for complete respray. Took 5 months start to finish as the small bodyshop I used had it as a side project and they did a fantastic job. Car is like new again now and have no regrets at all. Cost was £2.5k but kept same colour so didnt have to do under bonnet, boot lid and door shuts etc.
go for it and enjoy.
