BOOOM!!
Loads more pictures to come tomorrow, including step by step shots of the whole process, my thoughts and important notes for anyone wishing to follow suit.
And yes, it has no arches on it at the moment. It will soon. For consistency I will put the details about that in the arch thread. Funnily enough I think it looks quite good with no arches at all!

My tyres are pretty wide Danne! 11.5" or 292mm! What it needs is 10" offset wheels to fill out the new arches.

I'm going to save myself the hassle of a really long write up, as it has already been done:
Click here: http://tinyurl.com/l200plastidip
Lots of photos and full explanation of works we did. Makes interesting reading.

Excellent! Can I ask how long it took them (and were they new to the process?) and how much it cost?
And what's your thoughts on longevity - do you think you'll need to reapply relatively often?
