Default first pics back!
got the first pics back of the respray last night!
what you think?
im really impressed so far!

the job was originally 2 wings, 2 arches and paint below the chrome down the sides.
it ended up being, 2 arches 2 wings, mex front bumper, weld up and plate all the holes, paint above and below the chrome, the sills rubbed down, stone chipped and matt blacked and painted the bonnet too!!

(sorry they are small, they were sent to my phone!)
