Paid over the odds to get the front end sprayed, but hopefully a combination of colour matched (black) undercoat and a touch of plasterciser (how do you spell that) to try to prevent the chips that black cars show so badly will make it worthwhile. Also got the front splitter colour matched so will be interested to see how that goes.
For info I was also told it is not yet illegal to spray non waterbased paints, though it will be (thought that had happened a while ago).

Get some armorfend on it! Plastisticer makes its softer but is required on GRP bodies as they flex.

Cost £ 1500, but I have been running it all week so it is fithy and not worth a picture. (I know it was probably too much to pay)
I'll stick a picture up when I have cleaned it at the weekend

Can somebody measure how far up the bonnet the main noble badge goes (I think it was circa 15mm)
Thanks

Its not an exact science mate. Some of them with stick on number plates even have it on the leading edge.

Maybe check out some pics on the classifieds for a guide?
