The hardest part is all your mates finding out you're gay

I wouldn't worry mate they already know

Its scratched to buggery and fancy the different color ...

Rear is simple and cheap enough - two screws and slide off

The front has the glass glued to the touch and LCD screen so have to replace the whole lot = expensive.

Ifixit do a teardown showing whats required, videos on youtube etc will help with actually swapping the screen

A quick google for iphone 4 repair parts indicates you could get the white back and screen for ~£160

you still end up with black bits on show

youd be better off time, money and looks wise just selling it and buying a white one

This I guess, I mean you'd still have a white iPhone which looks poo but I guess it can't be helped
