A couple of days labour to fit a quarter panel seirory? you get 7 hours no matter what car, its being able to repair a fooked panel like that which sorts the girls from the men! anything is repairable and has been! thats why we are called panel beaters not panel fitters, Ant the beater!!

170quid.....weigh it in at the scrappy its all its worth tbh, was a bit stupid rolling it down a hill as you say...

i aint scrappin it mate... runs like a dream now... cant fault it mechanically...

i cant beleive u were quoted £250, seems relatively cheap to me. Ive got a dent about 1/4 of the size of that, and im looking at around 250 for mine, without the paint. :S

250 is cheap when you think of all the hours it's gonna take to get that right

ouch!!!!!!!!!! your looking at a new pannel there mate, my old punto had a slight back end smack it was bad, i sent it in to be repaired as they told me that the pannel was repairable, which turned out to be lies, the cut into the pannel and smacked the car to high f***, then simply blasted the back end in filler, i wish i hadnt of wasted my money, a bang out, fill and spray job, will last around 4 months then the filler will crack and fall out, personaly id take the engine out, scrap the shell, theres a few seis knocking around now, sportings are cheap also,

Most anything can be repaired if theres a will and money to do it... This can be repaired, aint cheap, but can be done. New panel is the only solution, reapiring this one would eat up way too much time and material if its to be done properly. So replace it, and enjoy the car...

Totally agree with that.

I'm from Bradford too. Out of interest, which body shop quoted you that price?

Wasn't Enkhanz by any chance was it? I know they tend to get a bit filler happy now and then.

Come up to bradford for cheap body work! lol

How much would a panel replacement be??

It was the one on Farnham road in BD7 (round the corner from Mumtaz)

Enkhans quoted me £350 but that included a few other bits and bops...
They do a great job, i crashed an hired car once and they did a great job
What is it that you drive?

I don't think I'd use them again. Seen as I've got a paint dribble and cracked side skirt thanks to thier handywork.

I've seen them do a good job before... but that seems to be less and less these days!

oh, and btw I would have replied earlier but I lost the thread :bang:

Yeh. They seem to be taking a lot of interns in at the moment. so alota messing about...
Have you seen their ferrari? Its looking good...
And they courtesy Corsa? got a nice kit on...
Iv been messing about with the body bit by bit and its looking better as i go along, will post some pics up soon.
Where abouts in BD are you?

They have been doing that Corsa for months, just like most of the projects in that place, it'll take forever to get finished.

Last time I was there they had some Polish lads in there, getting paid almost shag all for a whole days hard work.

I'm up Quuensbury area these days.

Iv heard that too but never seen them! met one of thier young interns yesterday.. drives and old seat

Hiya all

I've given my car to enkhanz and to be honest they have ad it for 10 days now only stripped it down.

the keep telling me lies after lies and i'm sick of tired of it.

their customer services stinks and i've been told my back panel will be replaced. from what i have seen today it appears some likes to be filler happy.

they qouted me for a new rear panel but I know for a fact that its all filler as i sneaked in to check on the progress.

I TRULY regret giving my car to them and in my opionion they are a bunch of cowboys

They say one thing and do another.

STAY WELL CLEAR from them...

Shame I read this now, I would have recomended a good panel beaters in Pontefract, very good and happy for you to see process etc. no hidden extras.

Get your magnet out when you pick up the car that way you can see how much of filler to new panel they have done. And argue the toss with the buggers
