Thanks Matt,
 
Wrapping has crossed my mind, but don't think you get the shine like paint, do you?  And I think the prep is probably a lot of the cost too.   Don't confuse me,   lol
 
Still got a few months before I get it done.

You can get wrapped cars that have a metallic finish on them, it's definatley not the same as paint but I think it can look better sometimes and the price is right compared to a re-spray. Check out this Mercedes done in a gloss wrap:

 
I don't actually mind the matte finish of a wrap either:

Wraps can look cool, but they aren't a long term prospect like a good paint job. 

The thing with a wrap is a really good one will cost as much as most of the cheaper closed door resprays.
On top of that you need a really good paint surface to apply it to because if there are dips and ridges in the paint from chips or paint flaking like on your car shaz you will still see those lines and dimples showing through under the wrap.

Yeah, I thought the surface had to be very good for a wrap.  Plus I want to keep the same colour.  I had briefly thought about a wrap earlier, but have since changed my mind.
 

Passenger seat is matched.  He also took the seat part off & put more foam in the sitting part of the bolster.
V Happy.

Tidy's it up.

Yayyy I now have working Air con.  Newcastle Auto Electrics fitted compressor supplied by mrmr2 and they didn't find anything else wrong. 
 
Plus my first uber ride this morning was great.  Got talking cars............. as you do............... His previous house mate has an MR2, turned out we had met him at one of the Newy meets.

Glad to hear it, last time we spoke about it your mechanic was wondering about your condenser. I assume they kept it in and it works fine? 
 
Uber is a fun service when they know how to drive haha, what car was it? and yep small world. 

Yeah I forgot to mention the condenser to them.  But thought if there was a problem they would find it anyway.  Was very happy when I called them at 3.30 to see how they were going & was told she was ready to go & was the price they had quoted me   $440 including gas.
 
Can't remember what car the uber car was, they guy's name was Chris.  The car his house mate, Martin, has is a very loud red sdub.  We met Martin a couple of years ago, think it was before you started coming.  We drove to Swansea.  He is now living in Sydney.
