   Do it yourself?
   
   Whats point in modifying your car if your going to pay someone else to do it?

   Most retarded post of the day goes to...
   
   Seriously, what are you on about?
   
   Not everyone can do everything they want doing themselves. Millions of people pay professional companies/individuals to carry out work because they simply don't have the ability or even the time to do it themselves. Especially spraying, it's extremely difficult get a professional finish without professional equipment.

   Mine was £95. That was to spray and fit. They had to bond it as you cant drill holes in the glass without it cracking

    I'd get a bodyshop to pro spray it for you if you arn't up for it but it's dead easy to fit
    
    I went into Homebase and asked for their strongest bonding, me and my mate fitted it, just glue it to the glass, hold it down for a few mins, put some masking tape to hold it in place and leave it on for a few hours

    £20 will barely cover the cost of materials so i doubt they would do a good job. they wont spend their time doing it properly for just £20.

    tbh if you want a pro looking job go to a body shop, plus i didn't have the time to do it myself.

    Do you have to bond it to the glass? Or is that because its a MK2 one? My MK1 one is bonded to the roof
