Fair play to Amanda for getting it done, just can't see her looking after it the way most of us would.
No need to have it fully resprayed, just get it detailed for £500 ish, maybe the odd bumper will need a repaint but not the whole car.

Bonnet, bumper, some tiny chips on roof need painting. Might aswell do complete car so everything matches. I have touched up a lot myself but had loads of road works done around here and it has killed the car.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

No way in hell would I respray my whole car, only for the fact that the roads are so shocking down here that it would be mullered in under a week. There is not one trip, swear to god, where I don't get massive BANGS on the windscreen etc where chunks of crap are getting smacked up from the car in front. I grimace every time and hunt around for new chips. I have had Autoglass out 5 times now in as many months!

Surrey's roads suck big balls.
