Paint becomes weaker after a respray, plus those people who have quite a few mods might actually want to take care of their cars over the winter/get new things sorted out for 2004.

And he also charges stupid amounts for engines! £450 for a standard XE, £1500 for a standar LET PLUS £300 for an F28!!!

HE knows his biscuits, but charges whey to much!
