Could have been a poor repair job, I would look for another.

I had to put a new bonnet on my E46 a few years back as some numpty sat on it and that was £950!!! For the wings, and spray of your front end I would of thought you would be up near £1000 for that... What colour is it?? Wings alone will be near £150 from VW.


EDIT... Just seen you said Silver. Metalic is always more so £1000 is realistic!

I would be more worried about the fact they are rusty in the first place... !


Where the bloody hell do you people live?? you can get a top spec full respray where i am for around £1200 and its a sh!t hot job had my Merc C220 done (RIP)
