   Do it yourself. It will be a lot cheaper and if you do it right you can do more and sell them.

   lol dont listen to him, hes only got 66 posts and a pic of a crashed car, so his say doesnt count messin
   
   na mate, get some sandpaper and key the shit outa them (rub em dwn till they int shiney), then get some clear or white PLASTIC primer, 2/3 coats (10 mins in beween) then some paint - its really really easy to do and will set you back £10/15 and gives you something to do when your bord for an hour or so, plus once youve done it and realise you still have half a can of spray and primer, you'll soon be taking other bits apart to spray em, whats a nice way to learn about how your wee saxo is put together lol
   
   have fun

   as above its so easy to do yourself, and get to practise the rattle can skills. i started small now i ain;t too bad i sprayed my rear bumper and considering colour coding.
   plus if u spent that £50 on the ebay set i think you'd be a bit dissapointed at actually what u get for 50 quid.
