Honest opinion, unless you're painting it don't bother. It won't save any money and it'll just cause hassle for the bodyshop.

i did think exactly that, by t he time i bought all the stuff it wouldnt be worth it. it wasnt cost cutting but wanted to do some of it myself. on reflection might find a bodyshop to do it! thnx
