Think Dave's having a laugh :D , the blue one's mine just got it on Wednesday and its in need of some TLC (some respraying, interior trim and a few other bits). He only had to look out of his window to spot it though as he's my brother.

Looked good to me :D who done your respray? yes I've got an A610 and as you can probably guess from the question it could do with a bit of paint :lol: I often spot your brother out and about, think he lives close by me

Thanks mate, it was 3D auto's near Newtongrange that did it. It was kind of a favour for some work my dad had done for them :oops: and was done in the garage rather than their paint shed. Came up brilliant apart from a couple of flies that landed on it (In February??). I'm gonna t-cut them out and polish it up in the next week or so. If your lookin for a professional job i'm sure there's a guy out my way thats supposed to be pretty reasonable, i'll find out some details and let you know if you like.

Dave lives in Lasswade but he's been off the road for a while, should have the turbo back on the go in July. Are you from out that way?

Looking for a pro job but I would also prefer someone who knows there way around an Alpine, found a guy in Bonnyrigg who new his stuff but he wanted £4k to repair and paint my car :shock:
I live in Gilmerton so I'm no more than 5 minutes from Lasswade, guess that explains why I keep seeing your bro :lol:

Not sure if this guy knows much about Alpines but I'm assured he knows his stuff when it comes to a spray job. How bad are the repairs you need? I think he can deal with that too. He might be worth calling for a quote at least.
