Respray
Curious if anyone has every done a complete respray of their disco and if so, at what cost?
Or as an alternative, if anyone opted instead for a vinyl wrap and again the cost involved?

Hmmm, doesn't sound like a job worth doing on an ageing Disco 3 (2006). Maybe I'll stick with the black after all and just get a machine polish.
Still considering doing a facelift though so will have to get parts matched to my colour. Now this might sound like a daft question but how do I tell which type of black I have? I see there are so many different ones and my V5C just says BLACK

Hi
I believe the id plates on the bonnet slam should have the colour code
