I know this isn't a great guide but towards the back end of last year i piled my bravo into the back of a picasso on the M1. It needed:
- the front cross member straightening
- The bumper straightening and spraying
- The grill repairing and spraying
- The part that holds the bonnet down straightening
- The bits between the bonnet bit and the cross member straightening
- The bonnet straightening and respraying
- The entire front end repainting basically.
All that cost me something like £500 cash, so i dont think a body kit would be too bad. I think the biggest cost is getting the right paint match so it would probably be cheaper to take the whole body kit in one go instead of getting a panel done at a time.
I also had to buy a set of new headlights which i got for £67+vat each.
Oh and a citreon picasso bumper + spraying for about £320.
And it was still cheaper than putting it through my insurance which i think is a nice link to what other people were saying about insurance being a rip off!!!
