It all depends how much wiring is involved.

If it's a case of pluging in an adaptor harness, it'll take about 5 minutes, but if you need to put in new power and speaker wires it would take a couple of hours to do a tidy job.

So based on that I'd say anything between £5-40 + parts and consumables.

How bads the wiring that's the main thing as said above, It took me about an hour and a half to install a stereo (full rewire to ignition, 2 door speakers, cables to two amps in the boot to power 6x9's and a sub! the guy my mate used down here charged around £40 an hour.

It will cost you ALL of your man points.

Stereo's are beginners electrics and an easy DIY task (until you find half the loom is missing/scotch locked or taped up) :laugh:
