Just try and find some local paint shops in your area and call round. There is a fantastic little one near me and quoted me £120 for all the side strips and my mirrors. You may find having some of the little fiddly bits puts the price up a bit.
You could also sand the parts yourself as the prep work takes a good while and will reduce the price.

Where have you tried so far? There's a place down in Ashurst Wood which does things like this pretty cheap (I'm from East Grinstead as well 
)

Cheers Corpse i will do! Ive tried a few places Purley area so far as im working there atm, need to spend a day just driving round loadsa garages..you are?lol never thought id find anyone on here thats from grinstead!ha Whats the name of the garage? And have you used them before?

I've never used them before, I never even knew they were there but I know a guy called Shaun who just started working there and he told me to pop down.
Alternatively there's my friends bodyshop, Abbots Bodyshop in Copthorne, but they deal with Porsche's, Ferrari's and Mercedes (and other such cars) so god knows what they charge!
When you're going to these places ask if there's anyone that wants to earn a bit of cash during their lunch break, you might get a better deal if one of the sprayers doesn't mind working through their lunch break!

Cheers man, ill give them both a call and see what theyre saying, might have to pop down and have a look..if its your friends bodyshop dyu think he can do mates rate
Ive just gota find some time to get as many numbers as i can and have a ring round...Yeah ill ask but im sure ill get told where to go!lolWhen i get quotes ill ask if itll be cheaper if theyre already prepared, cheers for the tip! Most of the parts will have to come off if im guna sand them, do the side trims just pop off?

To give you an idea, a bodyshop quoted me £90 to spray the spoiler from scratch, or £50 if I was to primer it and prep it myself. Definitely a saving to be had, just make sure you wet sand the primer to a smooth surface before you hand it over to them!
I decided to save £50 and do the spoiler all myself though. Took my time but it's alright now!

In the same situation atm, a local spray shop quoted me £200/250 for mirrors side strips bumpers and spoiler and door handles i think, then £30 a wheel respray. Going to ask a few more places and check prices but tbf that seems fairly cheap.
