    think i have been mis-understood.want a rough idea of price to paint the vxr insert .the £55 is to buy the normal insert sri from vauxhall .the vxr one is £25+paint .so basicly is it more than £30 to paint the vxr insert on a budget of the wife for christmas for the exhaust

    If you get it to me in Liverpool I may be able to pull a few strings for you.

    I have two friends in the car body business!

    not easy but not hard at the same time just akward........

    i got the black satin paint from my local motor factor's and i didn't bother to laquer it as it came out great, vxr part ready primered so just a rub down with 1000 grit wet and dry, wipe clean then apply the paint, all done in about 20-30 mins, leave to bry for a day or so and then the wrestling match begins
