Anywhere between a couple of hundred and 6-7 hundred depending on the quality of the work and the level of blending etc required.

If you're not far from the A3 (Kingston Toll/Surbiton), let me know and I will give you a contact name who is very good but decently priced.

£500 is a good ball park figure as long as u dont have too many dents etc. A new patten part wing is in the region of £50 all incl and genuine part about £120 all in. Just dont go to someone who quotes u much cheaper than this as in the world of paint a cheap job comes out exactly as u paid for "A Cheap Job" Try and view some of the bodyshops previous work as a guideline to their quality! Good luck....
