Not sure on cost or time but you're nearly talking the full car there. I'd budget for at least £1500 at a guess

Just a thought Jon but wouldn't it be better to wait till after the Munich trip

If you get it done now it's only going to get chipped again on the Autobahn end of May.

Make sure you invest in an armourfend or similar kit when its done, A full kit will protect all the front facing parts inc the roof

Where can you get these kits?? Whats the best one, Venture shield etc??
Can you do it yourself or is it just worth paying someone??

I'm in the same dilemma. Rear bumper is getting bad where it gets stone chipped. But I use the car on track so it seems almost pointless doing it. But may get it sprayed and get that Ventureshield put on

TBH my rear bumper hasn't suffered but had the front done last year, bumper bonnet into wings and after a few miles and a track day it was peppered again!

IMO if you gunna spend out on paintwork the protection is a must
