any body got a idea on how much it would cost to colour code the side skirts, mirrors and door handles on a MY98 Imprenza Tubby

Its silver in case that makes any difference

Cheers

Cool

Colour will not make any diffo.
I got mine done for £120, but did save quite a lot of money by stripping the parts off it, taking them to the sprayer, and then refitting them afterwards.
DO make sure you use a good sprayshop, one that you, or someone else, knows will do a good job. And DO ask them to do it in "2-part" paint, using the correct primer for plastics, otherwise it'll come off, and/or not look right under certain lighting conditions, eg: sodium vapour streetlights.

Edited to add: it's worth the money/time/work m8. It changes the car's appearance.

My dealership wanted £400 for colour coding skirts handles and mirrors.

Anyone know of cheaper place that will do a good job around surrey,hants,berkshire area?

Talking

Def take them off first, it then avoids the sprayer having to mask it up and possibly getting any overspray.

Cool

Taking them off yourself is defo the way to go. It takes about 2 hours to do, and is a bit fiddly, but you WILL get the job done for about £150.
