Payday permitting on Friday, I'm going to be booking my GTi in to have the front splitter de-textured and painted as well as the front rubstrip to be removed, smoothed and the front bumper re-sprayed.

I went to
www.qvrefurb.co.uk in Daventry, they're by no means cheap but I know they're work is top notch, for all of that to be done they quoted £556 (paint & materials and labour which is the killer)
I'll deffinately post pics afterwards yeah.

My mate has they're car they're and that is HIGHLY modded, I knew it'd be dear as they're a farily big company, they're a mix between a bodyshop, accident repairers and valeters.
Should be worth it.
They've done quite a few modded cars as well, that have been seen at shows, magazines etc

its up to you if you want to pay twice as much for something! £215 was a price from a VERY VERY good bodyshop!

only thing about that is it's 3hours away from me, and I'd have my dad following me, would cost an arm and leg in petrol for me and him
