GP Front Spoiler
Has anyone had any experience of fitting the front spoiler (Fiat Part No. 50901350) is this an easy DIY job? any advice would be great . I had the rear one fitted when i bought the car. wish now i had the front at the same time My dealer wants £330 + Vat to supply paint and fit is this reasonable?

Re: GP Front Spoiler
With the info that Chris has just supplied i personally think that is steep. You will be paying more for fitting and painting than the valance itself, stupid.

I personally would say a good bodyshop would only be charging around the £120-£130 mark to fit and paint that.

Re: GP Front Spoiler
It all depends on whether it needs blending or whether its a perfect fit just to be painted over.

There is your answer then, not a DIY job. Ive got 1 word about the prices people seem to be quoting...robbery.

Re: GP Front Spoiler
Yeah not good. Im lucky because a mate of mine owns a bodyshop but i still obviously have to pay for the paint if nothing else. Just goes to show though how much they do make.

Re: GP Front Spoiler
This means then that in theory you paid about £100-£110 for it to be fitted and painted which i think is about right.

Re: GP Front Spoiler
£250 Supplied and fitted seem a reasionable price. was that at a fiat dealer or an independant body shop.
