my mettalic colour, bonnet and both front wings have got lots of stone chips and a few lil scratches from the last owner of the car
their not too bad and not very noticable, only close up...

what would be better and cheaper option-
1) buy new bonnet and wing panels to get primed and sprayed???
(bonnet £65 and wings £30 each, UN-sprayed)

2)get my current bonnet and wings resprayed???

lol - no need for new panels and boot. any decent priced bodyshop would charge about £100-£150 max to remove the chips/scratrches and respray the bonnet and both wings.

yes im thinking the cost of the panels and fitting will be a lot more than just sanding down my current panels for respraying

so im looking between, £100-£150 to have the bonnet and both front wings done?

i may as well save up and get a nice bonnet vent and as you said the shark fins on the side of the wings
