Car went in today....
« on: 18 August 2004, 22:16 »
....to my local recommended bodyshop for the following work:

-Crystal clear lights fitted
-One off chrome grille fitted (single lamped on each side)
-Rubber strips from the cab removed along the sides of the car and replaced with a thin silver stripe  8)
-Vented wing fitted, sprayed and laqured on drivers side (transporter vent)

all together got a lowish quote of ?270. Is that a good price?

I figured you get what you pay for with bodyshops, and he does come recommended.

Gertrude will be away till monday  >:(

GERTRUDE!!!! poor thing!

Sounds like a good price providing the spray job is good.
However I reckon you could of done a lot of those jobs yourself and saved a packet.
Lights, side strips and grille are easy jobs to do. Have a go yourself first

vented wing looks excellent.

the bodyshop has this extra sticky silver tape 1/4 inch wide. its fitted over the strips holes around the car. the holes have been filled but not painted. if you look closely you can see the indents, but i prefer it like that...
