cheers mate, no night pics yet, ill post them when i get some.
round $200 for the job including all materials. found a guy who used to work at f1 smash, now just does little jobs. i just gave him the dash. so yeah add the price of a fascia to that and its a reasonable price compared to what holden and some aftermarket companies charge for colour coded fascias. hope thats what u wanted to know![]()
