Thanks for all your encouragement guys! :y

Yes, it is costing me but wtf - its my car, I love it (and Omegas anyway), and I want to make it even more 'mine'.
Cars been with them 10 days so far and looking like another 10 more - detailed job as you say cem)

Plan is:
Prefacelift Irmscher front bumper (with amendments)
Facelift doormirrors, external trim strips, rear bumper
Re-badged with irmscher detail
19" Black 'Jade-R' alloys (on already as you can see - the MV6 alloys already on a MV6 in Scotland)

The bonnet had to be replaced as someone had very kindly walked across it  >:( and both front doors were rusty as f**k (both had had new skins not put on very well :()

More pics as I get them!

Matthew :) :) :y
