Whats it going to cost me

[mk1mexico]

To have 2 replacement arches put into my car? The paint is by no means perfect now, and i dont think its the original colour so would need matching.

 

Or do i do the whole hog and do the colour change i have wanted for a few months??

 

I need advice and price ideas from peeps please

im in the same boat

[mk1mexico]

You dont want/need a colour change though dude

[antz]

Me too,

 

all depends on the person you choose to do the work, the more you spend on a really good body shop, the better the overall results will be.

if your in darlington or somewhere near you should try RA bodyshop, not the most expensive but nit the cheapest, mines in there now gettin a new front end and they've done a bare metal respray on it a few years ago. the good thing is though, the more of the prep work you can yourself the cheaper it'll be, heres what mine looked like

and this is it now, gettin welded next week, lol.

the paint alone for my respray was £275

 

i should have paid nearly 2 grand if i wasnt doing it all myself! that was 2 new wings and the whole car high build primed and painted it was in the bodyshop for 3 weeks

what he said, 2 grand is about right, but its not what you know, its who you know

theres a lad in darlo called mark who is a sprayer/panel beater and his work is fantastic and he knows everything there is to know about rs's.

he gets on rallesportescorts or what ever the website is called and his user name is markymark2 (i think) .

he got mine sorted in 5 mins despite me trying to get it going for 3 month!!

 

or there is blueoval garages think its in the boro and have heard really good things about them

Dont be worried about travelling to have your car worked on mate, mines ging to Reading for its paint job at the ned of the summer simply because the guy who's doing it does a superb job.
