Got this sent to me by Jacky from *******. Just goes to show you must always research who you are going to and when you are after quality work you really need to pay for it. I really feel sorry for the Z owner in the post :(

Heres some sample photos~

WOW! Epic thread, something like 94 pages. I'd hate to say it though (and it constantly gets brought up in the thread) that you get what you pay for, it was something like a $4000-5500 quoted job that was done for $750 :rolleyes:

Car really does look good by the end of it though, like the number plates as well.
