So I have a 30th anniversary mini 30 that I need to sell with a terminal rust problem! rolleyes

The trouble is that if I sell it with rust it would be almost worthless, yet if I sell it with no rust it is worth a hell of alot more...

Does anybody know of a decent car resprayer around surrey/west london area that is reasonably priced? Basically I'm a tight git and dont want to pay too much for it! hehe

Well hopefully my car is getting some stuff sorted on it next week however they aren't close but they appear to be very cheap and was a personal recommendation, I'll give you the details if you like and let you know if they are crap next week.

thinking along the same lines

strip it, slam it (sort out the suspenstion), speed it up! (could include putting a Type-R engine in it!) - would be a Beast! a real Rally / Track 5L4G (not sure if that word is allowed on the forum)

Hi Ben (saw you hooning up and down the high street last night about 7 ish)

www.fancyplates.com
I've had plenty from them, and have found them to be quick and reliable. You can personalise the spec and actual size.
Good luck with the car

That was me getting cash on the way to the pub... were you in Don Beni's or the pub then?

I'll give fancy plates a try, I can't remember where I ordered some from before, but they came with air bubbles in, was not impressed.
