What does car n bike do mate?

Car n Bike do all bodywork painting, repairs, flip paint anything you want, Colins a top notch painter he had a one off merc estate in the other day that was built for ayrton senna that was sold on and theres always some sort of super car in there and some amazing bikes! when you walk into the office the wall is full of magazine covers his paintjobs have earned!

cheers for all the comments guys, its not quite 100% finished got a few wee bits n bobs to do, was gonna get H&Rs for it but after driving it yesterday ive realised there really is no need apart from to lower it slightly so im saving my cash! it handles sweet and its still not had the tracking and alignment done yet!!! its getting done tuesday

EDIT: also the blue 07 plate Mk3 clio in the drive just pulled past 80,000 miles lol

 

[BREMBO]

Need my fornt bumper done, may give them a call, are the prices good ?

You proper stack the miles up on your cars mate!

 

[Martin_172]

i was £120 to get my front bumper done on my dci when i pranged it that was including removal and refitting, was £200 for the spoiler and rear bumper inc removal and refitting and the bumper needed a good bit of prep work. just say martin with the silver clios recomended u and he'll sort you out with a decent price

 

[Lou]

Looking good Martin

 

[Coby.]

Looks Great... Nice and Subtle

 

[Thatyin]

Might have to give this guy a call if the work is so good the vee could do with some touchiing up. Car looks a tad boring although clean imo
