Not bad to do at all should take about half hour only hard bit was getting the original undertray out. Good idea to take some photos of every step to referance later when you put it back on.

Like Fishface says, why bother, there's very little of it seen.

When I re-built mine I had the subframe painted same colour as the plastics, just cos I could and I thought it would look different.

Yes it does look OK but if I'd been paying top dollar for it doing I'd have just rubbed down wherever was tatty and sprayed it up myself.

TBH there's only about 8" of it shows below the seat at each side, hardly worth it really.

Like Mike says, goes back together easier than it comes apart.
