right, i've had my bodykit now for nearly 2 years sitting pretty in the garage :bang: not being able to afford to fit it.

so 2 questions for you peeps:

1) how much do you think it should be to spray and fit:
-front bumper
- sideskirts
- spoiler
- bumpstrips

2) any chance of some good FF Samaritan willing to do it for me on the cheap? a donation will be made to the forum in their name too (y)

or should i just sell it all and not bother? :mad:
 
while i was walking to uni today from a different route i noticed a sign for a bodyshop so i thought what the heck, i'll take the car down there and see what they'd want for doing the schumi bumper, sideskirts and spoiler.

so i did

they want 500 to spray and fit including the roof too and rubstrips. problem is the guy said that the paintwork is in bad condition full of scratches and dings that when they fit the bits and do a flat and polish for an extra £150 it'll look crap and basically it needs a full respray in which they would sort out all the dings along the way. he said this way it'll come out perfect and all the panels etc will be matching. cost, £1200.

i cant get the 500 together never mind the 1200 :yikes

so should i just give up and sell the stuff? :(

i'd imagine at a dealership or any body shop you'd pay £300 to spray and fit ...though try what idid once ..get a quote from a lad to do the spraying as a homer or ask if he kniows anyone who does homers..worked for me ..and he worked at the fiat dealer

finally people have replied!!! :rolleyes:

coyle, its just really annoying me that ive had the stuff for agesssssssss waiting to be fitted. cant believe how such work is soo expensive in the UK :(

I was thinking maybe do it myself, how difficult would that be?

So there is no kind member in the south wales area willing to help? :p
