    Gratuitous shot of one of mine. I have an Azurite blue one for sale at the moment, just had it's paint sorted too
    Attachment not found.

    How much it cost to sort paint? Paintwork on mine a disaster, scratches everywhere.

    If its only scratches, get a detailer to look at it!


    Repaint for something like that would cost €3k max depending on the body work requirements

    I put about €6k into this one. I replaced all seals, grommets, rear window, under bonnet plastics and God knows what else. Parts from the dealer are cheap and the bodyshop stripped it completely. Your car will have rust around the grommets in the rear arch and where the bumper hangers attach to the inner wing. My car was worth doing as it's a one owner car with a full dealer history.

    Did you get the work done in Cork? If so can I ask who did the work?

    I did most of the work myself apart from the paint. I used a couple of Polish lads next to where I work. They properly gutted the car and I was pleased with the results
