the price always depends on the work that needs to be done as my mint job and others mint job are not the same when i look at a finnished car it has to be perfectly flat and flawless paint or there is no point doing it in the first place

cheers everyone for your advice and thanks for the heads up about xxxtreme. i did go and see his work and it looked pretty good but u guys on here are spot on an have pbobably saved me from wasting my money with them.
Anyway i have had a change of plan and am prosponing the body work for now and hopefully get a 2.0 turbo dropped in the near future as the 1.6 wouldn pull u out of bed (1.6 as this is my first car and insurance is a killer 
)
big thanks to jacko for ur help and advice and hope to hear from u over the next month or so to get car booked in!!
