I'm having mine detailed this Friday but had the same question running through my mind. I decided on detail/paint correction now so I can keep on top of the cleaning through this year, then sort chips/front end re-spray at the end of this year and then Ventureshield after. Also, paint chips on mine aren't bad enough to have sorted yet.

The amount of track action yours gets i reckon you should just get it detailed and wait until the bumpers is in a real bad way.

Thats what i'm going to do.

I think i might put off my frontend respray until after the RIng trip in May.

Still looking at getting the wheels paint and refurbed though is £90 a corner about right? Or is it taking the pi$$?

Looking at same colour as the car or a really dark grey

Sounds about right mate - i had my set fully stripped and refurbed last year for £350.

Personally i would go dark grey on a SB CSL...

Cheers Glen,

Question is do i want the wheels to be a slower colour than the rest of the car

Might do a photoshop thingy later
