Anyone know any ?
I need to get me Sti style fog light covers painted, and have absolutely no idea if there is anywhere round here that is any good and doesn't charge stupidly expensive prices ?

Ive used two and both been great.
1st was Foxton Motors. M11 Junction 11, head past Harston to Foxton, over the train crossing and its the garage on the left, drive through to the back to a bunker style building. Cash in hand job but they did a brilliant job on my side skirts and bumper strips (on a dbm).
2nd is Barr Tech on Cowley Rd, Cambridge (opposite the science park). Head past the driving test centre and the park and ride, follow road around to your left then take a right and its bang on your left. Small place that restores classic porsches and ferraris. Might be a bit more expensive but they take pride in there work. Ask Nino if he remembers me - he kept telling me how clean my scoob always was.

Can vouch for Barr Tech. Always used to take my Beemer there and they are true enthusiasts. Tino's the chap ther and they are really good. As P1Fanatic says, they are always restoring a Ferrari or Porsche or something.
Cowley Road down past the Park and Ride....

Nino and Tino - funnily enough brothers 
Great place to take your car. Even for an MOT test you can go in the garage and watch everything they do whilst they chat away to you.
Had an ins claim that required a new bootlid to be painted and flashed to the side panels. They did a great job.

Thanks guys.
Probably pop over to Cowley Rd tomorrow morning and have a chat with them about it see how much they want.
Oanyone any feel for how much spraying the Sti fogs is likely to cost so I can actually gauge if they are offering value ?
