Yeah, I wouldnt choose either option.

Donty do it yourself unless your very good at spraying. Dont take it to that garage because they are ripping you off.

I was quote £250 for:
Colour coding front and rear top halfs of bumpers
Door handlers
Boot handle
Mirrors
Scuttle panel
Arches
Roof bars

I just had full colour coding on mine for £475 as below pic.... So look around and get a quote for around what Kerry paid as that seems more like it




As you can see I had the boot lock, side arch's, Side skirts, Front and rear bumper done for that price.

Yeah thats the place bluecorsasteve in Jacksdale, 2 mins down the road from me. I wont be taking it there though, spoke to a bloke at another bodyshop, he told me he would colour code it for a lot less than that but wouldnt put an exact price on it until he saw the car.
