My car is heading 2 the body shop next week,,

You haven't stated whether the car is to have a full repaint! I think people are assuming that you are? In which case £800 is nowhere near enough money!

If they're doing only what's in the pics, then £800 is a fair price, and should be a good enough job!
With the fuel filler panel as bad as that, there is no way in the world that the wheel arch on the same panel is going to be rust free! be prepared for extra costs, also have them check the condition of the rear shocker mounting points on the body, this area is prone to serious rust, and is only discovered when its too late!

Yeah mate im having full respray,, 
Ive been down an spoke 2 them an they will fit a new door an a new wing aswell,
I keep asking them if this is the correct price as seems cheap an they say they hope 2 get more business by doing a good job on my car,
I hope i dont regret this,,,
But i had car 12 years now an never had any bodywork done so im hoping that its money well spent,,

Feek me thats silly cheap 

Just pray its good bodywork and not shoddywork

All I can say is proceed with caution!

I remember my car being taken away, was a bit sad to see it go (went all the way down to Cornwall from MK) and had no idea how long it would take but was surprised when I got a call a week later asking when it could be delivered back. Thing is with paint jobs you generally get what you pay for, unless you pay silly money it's never going to be perfect. Interested to see results.
