my anni really needs front wings they have started to bubble at the bottom,
the problem im having is decent body shops, iv got a quote from Acton coach works £2600 to replace the front wings (genuine VW), paint the bonnet, bumper, bottom splitter and blend the doors? yeah they do an amazing job but aint that steep???
-
my brother payed less than that for a full respray i think he payed £2000 on a merc 190E and still looks fresh after 3 years.
That is a very steep price for what you want done.
I don't know any local body shops to you but if your near bedfordshire can find out the one my brother used.

im only 20 mins away from beds, im real picky when it comes to a decent finish on the paint I can spot bad paint jobs a mile away hence y im having so much trouble :undecided: I do a bit of painting myself wheel refurbs ect, so have fairly high standards, I want paint to match and 100% colour and finish and put in an oven lol I don't ask much :laugh:
