Anyone any experience?

Tbh the guy who lacquered mine said it was easy enough to re laquer so I'm just going to apply the stone guard for longevity as mine was relaquered and second trip out boom lovely stone chip!

Can anyone advise where to get new kidney grills from and new wheels bolts? How much £? Cheers

I had every intention of getting an underside refresh but have had to address some well documented maintenance.

Would appreciate seeing some pics when you're all done.

THANX mate and worry not there will be plenty of pix
Here's a few of my freshly repainted driver side front wing

Cecil reunited with his door after a trip to the spray booth with the neighbouring front wing (which is yet to be re installed)

Very funny Jay but as U know that's the inside of my newly painted front wing which is a vast improvement on BMWs original efforts
