The price from different body shops could vary by as much as ££££'s! Really depends where, who and how!!!

Check out my accident pics. Repair is worth £1700. Will give you some idea! You've already got a head start by supplying the parts.

I'm having, roughly, headlights, grill, bumper, bonnet, wing, radiator, bump panel thing. All that that needs spraying is. No structural damage, so £1700 on cosmetics.

Apart from overspray on the windows which I had to clean off myself, it was a spot on job thanks.

I'm not gonna argue the price I paid and how good the job was. Point being, if you find the right place they'll do it cheap enough.
