Price!! :O

[PaulBag]

Went today to get a price for smoothing the 2 strips on the back bumper, the strips either side, the front strips and the number plate recess at the front on my 08 clio. I near fainted when the boy told me the price!!

me- " How much would it be?"
him- "say £150- £200"
me- "For everything? "
him- "yes, want to book it in?"
me- "Yes!"

so its going in next week or week after, waiting on a phone call

P.S. the last boy i went for a price was going to be £850!:nono:

When you say smoothing you mean colour coding yes?

It's not what he thinks it is.

You had better phone back up. He's going to weld up all the holes in your doors and put filler over them?

i have to go into town soon anyway so i'l call back round and check, but i said like filled in and he agreed.
but no harm in checking

£150-£200 to fill your back bumper 2 doors and your front bumper?

Lol mind post pics once he's finished with it.

Ask him what his hourly rate is aswell.

So to have your bumpers sprayed, both doors, both rear quarters plus filler/welding work, hes charging £200. Avoid mate!

 

[Gally]

Oh but it's a great deal.

 

[EllD90]

Its a deal..woahh no, its a steal..wait? Its the sale of the fvcking century!!!

 

[JD]

Lol. Did it not strike you as strange when just a bumper respray costs 200 quid?

 

[gex23]

I NEED to see photos of the finished article. £200 for all that? Crossed wires or a joke - avoid.

 

[JD]

This.

 

[Gally]

I'm going out on a limb here but I would double check.

 

[EllD90]

The guy probably thought you wanted the plastics smoothed and painted. £150 is the right money for that work. The £850 for the strip recesses to be smoothed is also the right sort of money!

 

[JCC]

I seriously don't think he knows exactly what you mean.

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Where is this being done mate ?

 

[Rage]

f**k me, i need to find this bodyshop!

I could save myself thousands...



Either that, or it'l be sunk before you get it back
