the blue dragon Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Aye, I can imagine the price would have been through the roof... and through the engine bay and the door shuts and the boot lid Having said that, nothing worse than lifting a car's bonnet to find a different colour scheme underneath! Very true mate! tbh if i had gone for a colour change i wouldve wanted the whole car stripped, engine too to make sure everything was the same colour, but you can imagine the pennies involved in that!

oobster Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Wouldn't bother me, as long as it had been done properly. I spent £1500 in one go at Stevie Walkers a couple of years back getting loads done to my red blobeye, just to tidy it up. I got the boot de-locked, a VERY small repair on the offside rear wheelarch, bonnet + both wings + front bumper/grille/splitter/fog covers painted, and also got the entire roof done (had been repaired before I got the car, badly). When I got the car back it was pretty much perfect, you couldnt tell it had been painted (i.e. no different shades, no overspray etc) and thats why I managed to get top money for it when I sold it.
