Any good places in Berks that you can recommend that won't charge insurance job prices? Got a quote today for £350+VAT

How bad is the bonnet, just stone chips?

You could prep it yourself to save some time and money if you are handy with the wet and dry, also remove it and take it to them to spray it. If they are a decent shop they would paint it off of the car, there may well me time and also money factored into the quote(s) for this?!?

How close are you to Reading? My bodyshop charges me pennies compared to that price. I usually pay £100 for a bumper so a bonnet will be no more than £200 all in. He's in the countryside, uses Polish hard working guys and I get all my newer cars done there. I buy and sell for a living so customers would spot if he was bad. Don't use a tinny you'll never get that bodyshop lustre!

PM me if you want his details.

^^ Close enough for £200 PM sent.

PH - bonnet is in good nick, it's just the wrong colour (black instead of dark blue - recently bought (ally bonnet) from FleaBay).
