Just got a price to have my Terzo side skirts & back bumper skirt sprayed, the quote I got was £215.97 for the 3 bits.

To have the mirrors done alone was £111.63.

TO have everything done including the handles was £408 this is including VAT.

Does this seem a lot of doh, cos it does to me.

Can you please let me know what you think, cos most of you must of had this done!!

What did you all pay for yours.

Does anyone know of some other good sprayers near Chelmsford,ESSEX

The place I got the quote from was Brockley Road Body Works, they have got an excellent set up, and I would really like to go with them as they are only up the road, but it all comes down to DOSH.

Last thing, when I asked about getting a good colour match they could not guarantee it would be this is understandable, is this what the rest of you were told, since I was told this its really put me off having the door handles done, cos they are going to obviously stand right out if its not a good match.

Please let me know.

I had my sideskirts, rear spat extension thingies and my MRO front air dam painted at my local family run bodyshop for £200 cash - which is a good deal.

They took the car, removed the bitz, painted them and refitted.

They also sprayed my WRC rear wing recently for £45 cash.

Based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

POC,

Out of interest - where in Hemel did you get the WRC wing sprayed. I live in Hemel and have one for my MY01 and was looking for somewhere reasonable to get this painted - £50 seems very good.

Thanks.

Exclamation

I had my 5 door GL all sprayed (and a few minor dents removed) excluding the roof and boot lid, this came to £660+VAT.
Asked about colour coding mirrors, handles and plastic strip on rear bumper (I think that is coded as standard on Turbos), £40+VAT extra. Decided against it as I thought they would inevitably get scratched to leave the black plastic showing through silver paint. Was told that if I changed my mind I could go back at any time.
He made a good job of the car spray, would recommend him to anyone in North Wales area.

A few of you say you had yours done for around £150 - £190, but I just wondered what you had done for that money.

It does seem that the price I was given was well over the top.

Cheers All
