I've been thinking about having skirts smoothed in and would just like the sides sprayed, but don't know if i will be better of getting a full respray

Seems quite a decent price tho, i may have to enquire at my local b-shop!

As much as i think its a good price whats the point if you are putting a 2 LItre in it? combined with lowered harsh suspension it'll crack in no time?

Smoothing is a big mistake in modding IMO

If there bodging it with P40 and P38(upol) its a shite price
