Hi, Finally got round to taking some photos of my finished car and uploading them along with the pics taken by the bodyshop during the work. It's been a long wait but well worth it. The quality of the work is incredibly good, particularly the depth of shine and perfection of the paintwork. It is way better than the original Fiat finish. The pictures really don't do it justice, it has to be seen to be believed. Colin Lloyd and his team have taken an enourmous amount of trouble (and time ahem!)to do a really thorough job and have done a lot of extra work at no cost when they found it was needed. Any coupe owners in the south west who want bodywork done to concours standard should check him out. tOmO on here has had his mooon grey coupe done by Colin and is also very happy. Hope you like the pics: http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h40/montydog1/Coupe%20Restoration/Pics with tOmOs car are taken after I fitted the correct front grill, replaced the front fogs and fitted chromed wheel nuts

Where in south Devon may I ask? Did you have two new door skins? Oh and how many k for that? Looks like a top job. Almost like a mini show of overhaulin but with out the annoying prank bits. The body shop is located in Plymouth adjacent to the ski slope. I only needed 1 doorskin and the cost of the whole job was £2000. PM me if you need contact details.

Looks really good indeed The only thing... what is "Mr Standard" doing with a plus grille on a standard 20vt? LOL. It was on there when I bought it and just haven't bothered sourcing an original slatted one. I have thought about it though...... Thanks for the positive comments

Thanks, Tom.
You're right; they are a first class outfit. I'll PM you about a meet up. Colin said that he would like some photos if "his" 2 coupes together for future reference so we can do that when you come round. I've found a great spot in the village with plenty of space and a nice countryside backdrop for taking some pics.

Looks fantastic.
Were you not at all tempted to have the sills and black bumper bits painted? IMO it's the single biggest thing that improves the look of the coop.

I thought about it but for me, keeping the car original is really important. I also think that colour coding the black bits makes the sides of the car look too deep.
