Thinking of doing up my mk2 nice over time :undecided:

the engines good and although its only a 1.6 i plan on getting a newer, gti golf next anyway.

My cars got quite a few key marks on it and a few dents :sad:

Any idea how much it costs to get dents taken out?

Also would like to know roughly what people have paid for a decent respray, im thinking its about £1000-£1200, im thinking of just getting the outside done or maybe getting inside and out done in black but not sure yet.

These are a way off but would like an idea anyway if possible please

Cheers :grin:

try someone like dent demon who comes out and do repairs on your car at home/also depends on where you go to get it done a full respray can cost anything up to a couple off grand :smiley:

Personally I'll be looking to save more like 3-4k for my respray, dent removal, etc

No point in doing a half arsed job, plus there's likely to be unseen rust issues etc that need attending to.

agree with kittie here. 3k would be my base sum of money to think about a full respray/dent removal as I'd want it done properly. :)
