Hi everyone,
I am new to this world by new I am still looking for my subaru and can only get a sport for now - actually if anyone knows of any nice cheap sports/gx going pm me. I have seen a few that look ok but allways in nasty colours or coverd in logos so i was wandering if anyone new just a rough price for a respray on a car this is just so i have a rough guide as i never had to get it done before. Also any genral advise for buying would be great. Thank you

 

£2000, better buying a car that's a nice colour

 

thank you I think your right it would have to be a real bargin to start with to justify the cost.

 

Probably more than your going to spend buying the car, Espeicially for a full colour change where you need engine out etc. The pretend rally stickers will probably come off with a hairdryer.

 

i agree £2000 for a good one but £500 /£600 local garage lots of bits in .there are paints that are dear and good and paints that are cheap and nasty alot of people dont acctually realise what a top respray consists of .i have seen both ends of the spectrum if you cannot afford a good one dont do it ... and as said before as prices are now your car is probably worth less than the respray.....so dont think it as a selling point .....you wont get your money back ... on the other hand if you can afford it a good one go for it a nice new shiney impreza

 

The price can vary with the type of paint used too. Anything other than a flat colour like WR blue etc will cost more, i.e. my Mica Black

 

What's your budget for a sport?

 

Whay not just buy a turbo in the right colour? plenty going cheap at the minute - the money you would save on respraying it (£2k or so for a decent job) could be put towards insurance if you're a young driver.

 

wr blue is mica, well mine is.

 

Hi thanks for the help sorry I have not been replying i have no idea how to find old threads and the only comp i had this on my faves is work. I baught a nice blue sport (2000) its the darker blue so all good there paid only £1100 for it bargin but has done some miles hence the price and some idiot put a black turbo bonnet on it. I wont bother worrying now about spraying it as i will probably just try and sly a new bonnet from the scrappy. Mind you though they put the bonnet on they have done ome nice touches aswell upgraded suspension and sti seats

 

also if anyone still reads this thread how do you get the little picture of your subaru up as an aviator?
