I was suprised how cheap alexs paint job was! I'll let him tell you. but he got quite a bit done for quite little £££

New plastics cost nearly £200 (inc the new bumper).
All in, the paintwork cost £75 (+35 for the respray as there were some issues) for the bumper and £50 for the extras, which brings it up to £160
Total bargain really!! and the quality is top notch

A nikon D80. The shot was taken in RAW (something like 20 megs
) then I put it into photoshop and changed only the colour temperature
PS3 and PS2 both have very good RAW editors, though PS3 is much better.
