Does this sound like a rip off?

I have a standard Corsa C SXi and want to colour code all of the black on it, I have (on order) a set of M3 mirrors, and want them fitted aswell

A place I have tried has quoted £600 to fit the mirrors, and colour code the wheel arches, sills, rear bumper, boot handle, and black parts on the front bumper

Is this a good price?

Ive been quoted 400 cant find anywhere cheaper. People keep saying that this sort of price is a rip off and that I can get it done for £200 but as yet Im struggling to find it. So if anyone knows of any, especially in Newcastle then let me know

My company can do this for you all in under a day in our state of the art paint facilities, you could probably wait on the car or go into glasgow for some shopping and come back to it finished.
Either that or you could go for our vehicle pick up and delivery service.
The paint work is all done in a top of the range ferrari apporoved sparybooth/low bake oven, we use high quality paints and offer a 5 year guarantee.

Rotherham is the closest I have had so far? Who are they?

Colour-Tec, how much would you charge for this?

And with the pick up and deliver, would you do this from Birmingham?

Let me have 2 prices if you do, with pick & drop, and without pick & drop
