Hasnt the car just had a full respray?

Nope. Only partial.

Would like to see if someone can have a look at the arch liner to see what needs to be done with it, as well as various external bits and bobs.

Does the arch liner still have a big hole in it? Dead easy to replace.
What needs spraying? White Diamond is a difficult colour.

Yeah, the near side front is missing about 1/4 where it runs down to where the bumper should bolt in. So the bumper isn't fixed at the corner, if that makes sense.

The skirts both have cracks which need sorting and spraying (or maybe replacing? One's a bit wobbly) front bumper needs to be resprayed, back one needs a bit of touching up. There's a couple of chips elsewhere, one on the door and a bigger one on the drivers side door mirror, right on the hinge, so not sure if that can be fixed.

I need to take some pics really and get them up here. I was going to do it last night, but was having a bit of a "WTF have I got myself into" moment when the flare holder fell off just from me looking at it :lol:
