Colour change - who do you have to notify?

[C0llis0n]

Hey all,

Just out of interest I was wondering if anyone knew the procedure of changing the colour of your vehicle not the painting/prep ect. but the documentation.

Obviously I know youd have to tell the dvla and get them to update the necessary records but is there more? + would it invalidate anything? i.e. MoT (I know that sounds stupid but this is Britain right!:blush

All helps much appreciated. Thanks! Joe.

i know i did this on my motorbike a while back and just told the insurance and adjusted log book through dvla that was it. you could always phone an mot place if in doubt though (Y)

Yep I did the same just send off the V5 with the change on it.

Sorry to ask my own question in your thread here but...

I was just wondering my car is White but it's old and weathered kinda whitey grey lol. Errm how much roughly would a full respray white be?

I mean obviously I'll get in contact with some local garages / painting places etc. But I'd just like to know roughly what I'd be expecting.

i got my car fully resprayed with the bumpers colour coded in blue for £200, from a family friend at his back street garage

Haha sorry mate I just didn't think it was right to make another thread just to ask my question

To get it done properly including prep, the lot, you're proly looking at about £800+

Or you get it vinyl-wrapped which is LOADS cheaper.
