Default Paint repair price estimates

Hi all,

some nice person has drove in to my hawkeye and damaged the from bumper paint, bonnet and pushed it in to a wall damaging the rear pumper.
The damage to the pumpers is paint issue, the bonet has a small dent in it.
Any ideas what cost I am looking at?

Depends where the dent is on the bonnet/is blending into one or both wings required? lets say front and rear bumper need painting and bonnet, you'd be looking at approx £450+vat, may be less if its just either corner of either bumper, maybe more if one or bothe require blending best case scinario would be circa £395+vat worst would be circa £650+vat.

The bonnet damage is like something has fell on it, a dent around 4 inches from end ends etc. Rear bumper is between the exhaust out and number plate area. Front bumper is about 3 inches in from number plate and 5 inches from where the bumper wraps around.

Not sure if they can do a quote without driving down and its a long way for a quote, to come back, to go back again and I have no other transport :0(

You should have had the bonnet of me Dan, i sold it for £100 and that included painting it 18L mica black/ ground black underside, and the finish is perfect, if i do say so myself

Sounds like a 4x4 has reversed into it and the spare wheel has come into contact with the bonnet

If its going to cost that much why not put it through your insurance as long if you have protected no claims that is !!
