Default Off to the bodyshop.......

I bit the bullet on Saturday and dropped the S off to the bodyshop (Bodymaster GB in Watford). I've known Phil there for a few years now and he's done a few friends/customers cars and the work has always been top notch, so I trust he will look after mine just the same

He reckons he'll have it stripped by tonight and wants me to go up and take all the new parts to him and collect the old stuff - not much lol, bumpers, front wings, bonnet, boot, side spat thingies.

I've owned it for a year and it's always looked like this:




and I love the colour, so it's staying MC Blue

I'll grab a pic or 2 when I see it later and keep you updated

EDIT > and I just noticed I've reverted to being a "guest", so I'll address that in the very near future too

Phil is a good guy, take a look on his website to see what he's done.

www.bodymastergbltd.co.uk

This was a quick job he done for a customer of mine - tis only a drift car so didn't need to be perfect, but he still did an amazing job!

So what are you having done given old parts are coming off and new parts going on? When I respray mine in two years (had nose painted in October and will do so again next October) I plan to leave mine in lady boy blue but maybe customise it slightly.
