From what i seen of your car, it is well worth it.
The cars body was a real let down.

I think most places would charge you more than that just for the full respray, let alone all the other work!

If there's one thing i've learned about bodywork, it's that 9 times out of 10, you get what you pay for.

I've had work done cheap before - and it's looked exactly that (never again !)

Then i've seen some of the cars at Edition 38, where the paintwork is 110% perfect. But they are willing to pay well above £3000 And I mean that - better than factory :shock:

thats a fantastic price!!! why are prices for work so expensive in scotland compared to down south??? cost me £180 to get my front bumper and bonnet done, and that was discounted because i know the guy!!

from your description of what work your getting done i'd defo say its worth it!! 8)
