Just Facelifted My '94 Impreza
Hi All,
I've just completed fitting new bonnet, scoops, grille, headlights, bumper and P1 splitter. I'll upload pictures later.
Just been to a local bodyshop and they have quoted me the following:
To prep+paint:
Bonnet
Bumper
Grille
= £265.50 ex vat
Side and Rear skirts = £118 ex vat
Door handles = £60 ex vat
Paint/materials = £67.10 ex vat
Total for all of above = £599.96
Good price? They are part of a Nissan garage
Thanks,
Mike

Sounds good. I would have got all parts sprayed before putting them on.
Anyway - try Littleknocks in Wokingham - LittleKnocks Repair Centre
They did my side and rear skirts and also resprayed my bootlid & roof. Good people.

I'm so glad my mate owns his own bodyshop.
I had, Bumper, Grill, Fog covers, P1 splitter, Door handles and STI 6 rear spoiler and including the paint for a bargain price of £250

My bonnet and grill/lights don't align properly, and I wonder if it is because I used the stock hinges when facelifting...
What tweaks did you do?

Looking good - nice tip on the jack/ramps too!
Is that a brand new bumper? If so how much and where did you get it from, if you dont mind me asking?
Mines pitted so bad, I was thinking about a new one the other day.

No, It's not over hanging as much as that. I'm not sure why its like that? maybe you could shift the brakets up and down the bonnet by drilling the holes out a bit?

Looks good, be nice to see it when it's painted. Im in the process of facelifting my RA. I've fitted the lights and grill,but need the bonnet and bumper. I take it thats a steel bonnet? Im after an alloy one really.

the side skirt price seems steep, i paid £50 to have my side skirts sprayed, i supplied the paint which was £11 for 2 pac and hardener, so £61, that was prepped and sprayed.

Actually it doesn't come that far, but it's just the way I took the picture... it's a little less than 1 cm that is coming out

If you get hold of "facelifted brackets" let me know if that solves the problem... I've been wondering around, and if you an me have the same problem that has to be it.
Probably other people that doesn't have this problem is because they got the hood with the brackets already on them...
I don't feel confortable with making the hole bigger... it can be a pain to have it correctly aligned...
