Front End Re-Spray

paulw1973 · 20th August 2008, 08:03

Off on my Hols soon so my 75 is going into the shop for a much needed re-Spray on the bonnet front bumper and both front wings. I brought the car a few months ago and made a classic mistake (I viewed it in the rain) when i got it home i counted in excess of 70 stonechips on the above mentioned panels. now from a distance believe it or not they are not noticeable but every week when i clean the car there they are staring at me. I am being charged £280 for this work which i think is a very good price what do you all think?

I have visited the workshop before hand and seen some of this guys work. (mainly beach buggys) but the finish is superb.

Thats a very good price as it cost me the same for just one door but that was dealer prices so would always be higher. With all the work involved £280 has to be a real bargain :lol:

Quite agree.
That is a very cheap quote.
Normally more than that just for bonnet.

I agree, at that price it is pretty close wherever you live

Keep us updated and plenty of screen shots. A respray of the front end will be my next step.
