Question

My 98MY UK Turbo (in red) is looking a bit tired.... the bonnet has several chips in it, the front bonnet scoop clear coat has peeled in places, the boot lid is faded to pinkish and the rear spoiler has gone a funny purple shade of red.....

Anyone recommend a good fix near North Staffs -

Cheers,

Mark

I spent the whole of yesterday afternoon and evening t-cutting the boot lid and rear wings - they look OK now....

I'm getting a quote from a bodyshop for the rest - so I'll post it on here to give an idea of the costs !

Blimey mate!

I had a quote for the bonnet and scoop for £180 inc VAT. That was to do a complete repspray and a hard bake on the paint.

I also phoned around and the price seemed to vary between £150 & £300. The higher quotes also included the front wings to be resprayed. This was suggested by some respray companys so that the bonnet didnt look out of place when done.
