Default Buy sprayed or get cheaper then spray

Wondering what do you think would be cheaper?

I'm after a p1 splitter, STI7 scoop and some P1 driving lights covers

From DR Motorsport these parts come ready sprayed

Prices are :
Splitter - £230
Scoop - £130
Covers - £80

Total - £440

Or get them from other places for cheaper then get them sprayed

Appox prices are :
Splitter - £100
Scoop - £90
Covers - £30
Total - £220

SO what do you think?

No spraying experience at all, and being a fussy **** I would never be happy with crap quality spraying anywhere on my car

Buy them already painted.

That way you can send them back if they are not 100%.

If you bought them, went somewhere and got them painted there is that 'grey' area whereby if there are problems the painter will blame the parts, and the manufacturers will blame the painter..

How much do you think it would cost to spray those parts individually?

i would get them unpainted and then get them sprayed cause lets face it dont know what car you have but if its 10 years old the paint on the car would of faded and nothing worst then bright brand new paint on old paint, where a sprayer might be able to blend the paints together to make it look factory fit

god knows al garages charge different amount the way i look at it is you wouldnt go buy a new wing and spray just the wing cause against the older paint work it will look stupid hence why garages would blend the wing in down doors across bonnet to make it look factory fit.

best of getting some prices from garages could even go full out get the bumper bonnet sprayed get rid off all those nasty stone chips people have lol
