For the price of buying one, I'd guess a spray shop would do it for £10-20? Not a massive job.

Oh yeah it is facelift, not actually sure although someone on here will deffo know. TBH I don't like the way the pricing is goin on that sale anyway, far more than I'd want to pay. Seriously, just takes yours off and take your time with the spray, it'll be fine.

Facelift and non facelift ones are completely different.
Just do it yourself, if it goes tits up, take it to the sprayers once you'ce had a go.
Prime it, spray it, laquer it.

Wrap it in vinyl, it will last longer than spraying

Wrap or spray it yourself doesn't cost much and both are easy.
