Hi everyone,

How much do you think it would cost for a total respray of a 318i cab?

And any recommendations for the best place to get it done in or around London?

I was thinking of bringing back the diamondschwartz glory to the car, but it will probably cost me too much to do right now, am waiting for payday. Can I claim half-price, since it's technically a 318i minus the roof... winkeye

Cheers

Ben
