if its got plenty of paint on do it yourself its easy i did it with mine even if i am layed up for a few weeks as i fractured my knee cap doing it lol
you need some 1500 or 2000 grit and or a good colour retorer like zaino it will take you 2 days off hard graff but will be worth int i spent a day doing mine so far have a look at see what you think,no one will do it like yourself if you need any advice will help you with pleasure.
cheers Dale

Cheers Dale - I'm going to flat the paint back with lots of soapy water and 1500 grit paper, then machine polish it with G6 compound
Failing that, my mate who sprayed it will do it, he does it for a living

dont rub the edges to much and if you use a proffesional buffer be very carefull as it is easy to burn the paint ,I suggest if you have not done it before go to argo's and buy one of theres as you would not do it with one of those .I want to see your car looking really sweet.

when the engine was in the sierra, it was about 350 horses.
I've turned the boost down slightly, so about 320 horsies now

Dear Paul
I fooking hate you

Good work Fella! You made the whole job look ridiculously easy, which is more a testament to your ability than anything else. Well done!
Was hoping to see it at FF tomorrow, but both my mates are having to leave stupid early so nackers to that. Post more pics, and more importantly vids. Especially if you are on track.
