A) suggest someone who they know to be good at this.

2) Give me a quote for the job

3) offer to do it for free!


Thanks guys.

ABW's work is quality

Would also say Dave at Hybrid motorsport & paintworks as he done an excellent job on our spoiler and front bumper would highly recommend

it wasnt the actual repair. it was getting the paint the same colour followed by overspray on the wheels by missing trim by fitting incorrect tyres should i go on.

Well after a few high end quotes, i have now got a decent one....£60 all in.

Loads better than any others out there (you know who you are! lol) and will be done in next few weeks.

Yes it is, and it is being done by a friend who has some time on his hands and owes me a favour.

I think the quotes of over £200 JUST FOR A SPOILER is a little over priced, considering there is a place on A13 just after M25 that offers COMPLETE RESPRAYS for £250

yeah but i wouldnt trust a £250 respray on the rover coupe let alone anything else. IIRC to do a full respray properly cost around 1k in getting everything together for the prepping/paint. before labour is added. £200 does seem a little OTT tho. had one painted for £100 before.

No need, as posted a few back, getting it done for £60 all in by a friend.

Thanks for the offer though.
