hey i don't know if there's any intrest but at some point i will be giving the 855 a full lick of paint along with colour coding the bumpers and rubbing strips. would anybody like me to document it and post it as a how to? Also my dad has just got himself a 58 plate V70 2.0D in metalic black, he wants me to give it a full detail when the weather gets better. i can document this as well as a how to. so what do we think? would it be useful to anyone?

Even if it's of no use to me, it'll be an interesting read.
