if its seems really cheap then that might not be a good thing, i got a dent fixed on mine on the cheap, looked great when i picked it up but 6 months on the filler has sunk and you can see where the repair was done!  :sad:

For all that to be done properly I would expect to pay about £200 - £250 and that front wing can be repaired, mines in at the moment having a bigger dent than that repaired in exactly the same place and I've had a repair done before on the blanked off wiper hole and the windscreen didn't need to come out which supprised me and the repair lasted until the car got written off about 5 years later  :cry:. I know you said a mates doing it but is that in a local company ? As for how the dent on the front wing happens, what you do is drive into something that has a back bumper higher than your front bumper so it miss's the bumper and hits the wing (thats what I did anyway  :embarassed:). Let us know how you get on mate because my mate is the manager of a Autopaint International shop and he knows some really good blokes for those sort of repairs, particularly for cash  :smug:

another guy, whos got his own booth and everything, privately owned, said anywhere between 1 and 150 but i have strong evidence that hes a f**king demon with his jobs and does it well  :evil:
