Tbho bud because the diffuser is part of the flat floor it would be a big amount of money to redo one so very hard to price,we spent hours messing around to get the fit right!
Underseal wise I only use WURTH products and would be around £80-100 to clean underside and reseal

Sorry about not responding mate,tbf it would still be a big job as with mine we are not only cutting away parts but rebuilding the bumper to fit the diffuser,you certainly wouldn't have any change from 700-900 at the minimum to remake mine.
ABW arch fitting would be around 800 give or take

Nice work Ryan, I bet the person who suggested a similar colour choice must have good taste as do you of course.

I'll take a butchers on Saturday.

Yes, you and your country bumpkins gave me a rank piece of KFC chicken, and the drive home was interesting to say the least.

Like a Japanese flag springs to mind.

Still along way off but I'll get there,it is a good thing though as the paint can sit and harden up over the next couple of months while I build it up and be very nice to give a once over with polisher!

Ryan's a bit, er, special. Takes him ages just to tie his shoe laces.

Or, he's got paying work that needs to take priority.

Not keen on the colour myself, Ryan.

As Micky has pointed out paying work comes first and if truth be told I have been pushing it aside to get mine to this stage so mine will take a bit of a back burner to get back on track.

No worries Micky on colour mate,I knew it wouldn't be to everyone's taste but to be fair it won't really show the true look until it's all bolted together and outside in the daylight.

Couldn't agree more mate,I figured as a lot about the car is/will be different and custom I may as well do a fancy colour but not to 'out there' and in your face.

Good choice in my opinion Ry no point being a follower when you can be the leader your car if people don't like the colour it's tough
