Mine's now SORN too.

The front end has all recently been re-sprayed, so its gone away to let the paint harden properly, ready for spring.

Yeah. I was chuffed to bits when I went to pick it up, Especially as it was only the local Dingmaster ( but they had come well recommended)
Cost me £490, but that included the front nose and spoiler, plus they they did the rear wing which had a trolley dink right on the top of the wheel arch and a few scratches and a dimple all in the same panel.

I've had it almost a year now and with the Wheel refurb and now the paint work sorted it's all coming together to look the bees knees. I'm going for an Inspection 1 plus brake fluid change at the beginning of March and then its ready for summer.

The other winter project is coming along nicely too, so all's well fella !

Got mine out for a quick blast yesterday while the weather was good. I realised how much I have missed the power and handling so I cannot wait for the 1st of Jan either which I decided I'm going to tax it again :D
