The car that keeps on giving.

So, as many will know, my current 75 was from another member on here, he supplied a new exhaust, front lower arm, 2 new regplate light bulbs in the arm rest (didn't know about these cheers sewol).

But it also came with a spare set of alloys that need a refurb, I was under the impression they were 16's god knows why, but they are infact 17s (original ones). RESULT!!

Now as shes due her MOT later today (21/07/17) she's still on the crowns 15s (same as my old tourer so do like them), i've fitted the new exhaust, fixed the boot plinth handle thingy, both regplate lights (no pcb either hard wired I found out), can someone recomend a refurber that won't brake the bank as I am on a very tight budget but want the girl looking her best next year as shall be attending meets, so its a slow process getting rid of a few scratches and a scuff on the bumper (not much but it shows).

Also where's the best place to get MBB paint code mixed up north west.

Thanks.

I'm told city powder coaters in Birmingham come highly recommended and they do them via a pallet service although you may have to sort out the logistics yrself- easily done via the web
