thats not a bad price mate we charge £65 a wheel at my body shop so for all 4 thats £250. but hey i dont make the prices up so its nowt to do with me lol.
its a real shame mate. i had a look round it with a few of the lads and we were all saying what a lovely looking car it is. then i realised that the damage looked the same as in the pics you have put up and then noticed the cliosport.net sticker in the window. where abouts in brum you from mate?

i ended up having a go myself in the end. didnt turn out too bad but like said before the letters are a pain in the arse and there are still a few little defects but over all im quite pleased with it.

for some reason my computer keeps just dieing on me. ill be on the interweb and all of a sudden it will just die for no reason.
