Price for full spray and a few little ditties for my poor gti?

[the40ftpenguin]

i bought a black gti about 4 months ago now, the paint work wasnt up to scratch so i took it to a place called chorley car audio as there is a guy there called neil who works what i can only describe as miracles with paintwork...he said however that it wouldnt be worth him detailing the car as the scratches are too deep and theres some bubbling and such that needs addressing...he advised me to get a respray and take it back to him..jus wondering how much the following would be as ive already had a quote that i will reveal once i have more of an idea from you lot on price

full spray in flat black
boot catch removed and smoothed with solanoid fitted.
debadged grill fitted and bonnet badge groove filled
tailgate debadged and recess from badge filled and smoothed.
side repeaters removed and smoothed.

desperate to get this done, hate seeing my poor car in this condition cos some have a go nutjob decided to bodge it and leg it lol...any help much appreciated!

not cheap put it that way! thats all im saying also what was your quote price, £2k or cheaper

£1700 quid all in, they said for that they would refurb my alloys, paint them spray a custom gti badge into the tailgate and remove n smooth off my rubstrips aswell as the rest that i said above ^^...but tbh i dont want that doing anymore...i wanna keep it stock...but not if u catch my drift

also any recommendations on a race exhaust that is louder but still hidden behind the bumper i think i saw one from scorpion exhausts...not too sure...

Too dear - I had a full respray done on my Mk1 - an absolute mint job £1000 including new bonnet & 1 wing.

where did u get it done? i know im listed as chorley lancs but i got 3 seperate bases of operations lol...anywhere commutable from catterick north york, chorley lancs, or waltham abbey essex and im good for it...just need to give this thing some tlc...the guy before me was a total tard who couldnt park or even polish his car as the detailing guy found dried on polish that he said was a few years old cos he couldnt get it off with a  cloth had to use alchohol lmao!

£1700 to dear??? 

For what your looking done thats a good price. Theres hours and hours of work in removing the repeaters filling the badge recess and bonnet groove alone never mind the rest of the work.. A good body shop is £20 odd pounds an hour

I more or less got all what you have down done to my car plus a few other things but I welded up the stuff as I didnt want to use filler.. Total price for all the that was £3000 but I ended up paying £2000 as i knew the man and it took about 4 weeks to do.

yea hes gonna weld the repeater and boot catch recesses...so you reckon just bite the bullet and dial in the ole card pin of doom?

full spray in flat black - £1000 for a acceptable one, but depending on how good a job you want could be anywere upwards
boot catch removed and smoothed with solanoid fitted. - up to £200 maybe.
debadged grill fitted and bonnet badge groove filled - debadged grill about £40. bonet filled about £60
tailgate debadged and recess from badge filled and smoothed.about £60
side repeaters removed and smoothed. - havent a nelly

tbh £1700 for all the work you listed + refub alloys is a pretty good deal, i would be happy with that price.
