The chrome around the front grills is showing some rust that the pictures don't really show. I'm trying to decide whether or not to replace them. It would be tough to get replacements that fit as well as the originals.

Thanks for the kind words everyone and glad Brad got his baby back where it belongs.
For everyone asking how much this cost, Brad got in on our November paint special for the C3 crowd on the forum which ran $5500.00 excluding repairs to the vehicle. Brads total was about $6000.00 if I remember correctly and think it turned out great. Props go to our Painters and prep guys as they did a great job on his vehicle.
We have a few more C3's in the shop right now which belong to forum members and I will post pics of each vehicle when its complete.
We are now gearing up for our second round of the RE-PAINT special in about a month so PM me if your interested as I will be posting the thread in a few weeks.
Thanks again and hope to do business with more of the C3 crowd in the future.
Regards

Nothing like new paint, until you get your first nick. Enjoy it
