Cost me £150 at my local family run bodyshop, cash in hand job.

That incuded removal and re-fitting of skirts and rear spats and having a front lip sprayed and fitted.

Edcase

would be keen to know this myself. although mine may be a bulk job with a lip spoiler / fog covers / sti scoop

pcdude

can you do that with paint lol ,,,,,,, well my car is silver any other silver scoobs

beanchimp

I want the fog covers too, but I want the mesh ones, so my lights will still work

Had mine done. But went to a top bodyshop.

Hence it cost about £400 for the set. It could definitely be done cheaper than that though, probably £200 i would reckon.

Hey POC hows it going

zorst is fitted now, sounds good, a little loud (stereo doesnt have much impact anymore !!) but still good

Still havent asked my neighbour yet, prolly will wait till the weekend, as I have to go down to Bristol again !

met

been quoted for the sides on my01 wr blue 150 but i got to take them off & no side spats, not to keen on that though, POC hello mate, how you doin? can you maybe email the local family paint guys number ?

nadger

Cost me £80 got a mate who works at a body shop. I think he will do them for anyone around the Brighton area but you will have to take them off/on yourself.

POC

hi guys, im good ta... hope you are both well.

Benachimp - Glad you are happy with it, a little loud eh! You so dont want to hear the drainpipe we fitted to my bros car then!

Met - Call Jerry on 01442 264 104, he will prob want to see the car to quote on it, ask him face to face about a 'deal for cash', he will see you right.

Cheers

Just been round to my neighbours garage

200 quid they quoted to do my side skirts and rear bumbers

that includes removal sanding down, plastic primer, and then colour code, and re-fitting, 2 days max

they had an escort cossie ( or what I thought was ) when I asked who's it was they told me it was a fake, but one they had done as a demo for their body shop & styling, they are moving to new premises in Warrington in a couple of weeks too

POC wouldnt mind hearing a Blitz, but prolly wouldnt like to own one

test tomorrow will be when i head back down to bristol, and see how it goes for that length of journey

I seem to remember reading a thread about side skirts needing special treatment before spraying to get the paint to stick properly. I'm not sure if this is true so apologies if this is incorrect.

I was told by the guys I spoke to that 90% of the time the paint will bond, all depends on how good a key they do first

but they did say that the odd ones, can go a bit wrong, with paint flaking off

and they told me, they would sand down the skirts first, then plastic primer, then two pack paint

flashheart

A Mitsubishi body shop in newcastle quoted "just over a £100 to get the sides done" dunno if it was VAT on or off though

DAR.WIL

Local dealership quoted me £380 to do the skirts,mirrors and door handles
