I used Shiply.com to get quotes a few years ago, and although Lee Costello wasn't the cheapest - His advert and correspondence read well.

I would recommend some caution in getting "a price I couldn't match myself" - as there appears to be a lot of chancers, who are only concerned with filling a van............

If it goes well - come back and recommend them. If not - come back and post a warning?

good point al:thumby:..its a brand new bike so i read all his feedbacks before i accepted his bid, he has 5 stars for every delivery on all points with a lot of repeat business, also i set the starting price at what i thought was fair, ill let you know how i get on:beerjug:

No probs mate, buy the full kit from Showtrax international tel 01234 782800 - go thro to sales and ask for Lyndsey and ask him for a couple extra bottles (2 in total) of solution as well foc.

If the bike is matt ask for the matt film and ill come and fit it for you, all you need to do is keep me topped up with tea and biscuits as payment.
 
Would it be easier to take the body work off the bike, box it up and use a parcel service?

Just a thought.

That is a thought of course but .........

The scheme of the paint job I'm doing will rely on panel alignment while fitted to the bike.

Have you given the courier my number Steve, ideally I could do with knowing what sort of time it's likely to arrive with me :thumb
