so many questions . . . do they charge you to remove ?

looking at the gallery, there's alot of BIG money cars that have been done, so that inspires some confidence as surely they've all gone through the same thought processes as us, unless they've got so much money they dont car if it buggers up the car.

Definately interested in this !

Also another question do you have to let the DVLA know you have changed the colour?? Just if the old are behind you and put in your reg obviously it will say RS4 etc but black not white!!??

Following the letter of the law, its not a permanent colour change so no, but I will be letting the DVLA for the exact reason you mention, its free (well the cost of a stamp) and pretty simple to update them.

id imagine a small charge yes, they do say you can do it yourself, but id rather a pro do it

The owner did his S5 in Matt Black and then removed it, the car is white as standard, and the paintwork was mint... (it was parked outside the company building)
