What a price!

so as im lookign for a job interanlly which there are none at the moment! bored as hell so thought id ring a couple of bodyshops to get a price on removing the bumper stips on the doors

Rang the first place said it was a 3 dr mkiv golf and the kiddie at the other end didnt have a clue tbh 'well id have to see it really to give you a price? but any way he asked someone else and they said £100 a panel +vat

second bodyshop, at least this guy knew what he was talking about mentioned about the holes behind the doors etc need welding etc for both doors and quarter panels £700 

never expected that! i knew it would be pricey so think ill leave that idea alone for a bit!

Sound like you'd have to have the holes fillled and the complete panels sprayed, thats why its so high.

I rang our local bodyshop for a total respray? £2000 he wanted! Is that expensive to you ?! I thought it was, but being a first car i actually want to spray im not too sure. My friend got his Ford Fez sprayed for £600 quid by my ex gf's brother lol, maybe ima ask him!

2k is a reasonab'e pice for a respray, there is a hell of a lot of man hours that go into prep.

  I was hoping you would say, nah thats a rip off!  haha il be waiting a bit then 

[AlanD]

Thats reasonable. More often than not when it comes to things like full body resprays you get what you pay for.
