Default Body Shop / Spraying in Reading Area

Hello,

I am looking to get my side skirts, rear corners, front lip, and WRC spoiler re-sprayed. I had the work done about 6 months ago by a friend of a friend. The paint on the skirts is flaking off along the top and the colour does not match correctly.

I have got the following price from MRO but they are miles away.
Skirts and Corner Skirts = £120
Front Lip (P1) = £60
WRC Spoiler = £90
Total if done all at once = £250

A local body shop quoted me £500 for the same job.

Has anyone had work done in or around Reading (Berkshire) and can recomend a good (and value for money) job?

Many thanks,
Tim

Is the front lip already on the car or is he fitting aswell as spraying?

It is on the car now but can be taken off.

It fits OK as is but I am considering getting it fitted properly.

I think the MRO quote is ex fitting but did not ask as it is easy job.

The only reason i ask is coz ive just got my side skirts colour coded and the front spoiler fitted and sprayed aswell as the front bumper for £300 but had been quoted £425 by someone else, so your price isnt too bad.

A few years ago i used Bromley autos, think thats what they were called. Ther werent that cheap but did an amazing job on about 4 of my mates cars. I had a lot of work done on my old scoob front bumper there.
They are in Wineresh, put showcase cinema on your left, go straight over that stupid roundabout, keep going to the traffic light cross roads with a petrol station on your right (think its a bp or texico), turn left, over the bridge, turn right at the speed camera on the right, then second right, follow it to the end of the road. Its near a school and looks like a dead end in a housing estate, but isnt.
