I asked for costs from a bodyshop, who had done it before, for smoothing and painting and was quoted £350-400. Just incase its any use to anyone.

I`d like to see a modded Furby saloon - was gonna get one instead of my Mk 3 but couldnt find the right one (wanted a blue or a yellow one but they all seemed to be silver!)

No it wasn't even from a particularly expensive place. I got in touch with the guy from touch-ups in Glasgow who do a lot of work for members of SVAG forum and do discounts for members. They are very highly thought of and by all accounts very reasonably priced. The guy was quite frank about it actually being quite a long job as there is such a large gap of nothingness behind the plate mount which has to be strengthened and covered then the work of hand finishing it to look totally smooth. He was almost apologetic about the fact it would cost that much and indicated he had heard of a company who were either making or planning to make bumpers which were pre-smoothed and that this may be a better way to do it if I could find the company.

I did just remember my cousin is a bodywork specialist and just opened his own coachworks so I might give him a call...

My mate got his front bumper done for £120 at a local bodyshop on his 6n2 Polo GTi.

300-400??? I'd expect the whole car to be smooth for that

I'm not giving the quote, just passing it on. It may be that the job is just more time consuming on the fabia bumper, having looked at a polo it doesn't seem there would be a big empty hole and as much shape to make up by hand but I'm no bodywork specialist.

Here's a few pics of my car in the snow.

Mine not that clean anymore lol i haven't washed it in 2 week and i don't plan on washing it anytime soon.

I think it'd be a bit rude to show up and declare mine the best on the forum however I spent a while mucking around with the camera so I'm going to post it here too:

It's a lovely looking car, and I especially like the colour of the alloys.

Then I saw the mudflaps, and had to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.

On another owner club we have a thread where people post photos of what they think is the nicest car on the forum (in this case a Fabia). I've had a look around and I've fallen in love with this:
