Default M3 Barn find....
Just seen this link on UKFN, http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=80165

How much would this M3 sell for after all the detail work etc?

Think it varies massively mate... for something THAT in-depth (removal of lights, spoiler etc) from a reputable detailing company I dont think it would be crazy to think it would be 500quid+ to do that. I read the other day that Polished Bliss charge around 850+V for their work and they dont take things to bits like that guy did.


Cheers,
Grant
