Just received my first rough quote from a local body shop for priming and painting 2 LE replica skirts, 360 Front/Rear Bumpers (all from Mariousz) (spelling).

"TO PREPARE AND PAINT 2 X SIDE SKIRTS ,FRONT REAR BUMPERS
LABOUR INC PAINT AND MATERIALS £450.00"

I was thinking more like £200 or less. I think i might just ask Mariousz to spray them before he sends them if i can expect more quotes like this.

Jeez seems a bit pricey but are they fitting the skirts??

I was thinking about getting my skirts sorted soon and the Zender bumper <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nope no fitting, just asked for a quote for "priming and spraying 2 side skirts and front/rear bumpers"

Bit steep to be honest. You are probably looking at that amount for prepping, spraying and fitment.

Just had my Zender skirts and bumpers primed, sprayed and fitted by L&M (closest Fiat "Specialists" to me) and that set me back just over £440 all in and they are considered expensive.

They even trimmed the bumper to make my FMIC fit as well. Gotta agree with Kingpleb and Pinin that the price you have been given is on the steep side.

I will paint you these parts for 175 pounds <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Sinking1 bought from me painted parts also. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yup, too expensive. I've paid £450 to have the front and rear bumpers removed and painted (inc. sills), sideskirts painted and fitted, and about 4 other small areas of bodywork that needed filling and blending.

what about colour match on those sprayed parts? Would you need a sample/picture to work from to get it right Marius?

not too expensive round here either...

I need code of colour and year of production your car, but sample would be the best.

You'll never match red just from a paint code. Especially given the colour will have deteriated over the years.

...therefore I need year of production of car, but sample would be the best.

I was over that for priming/painting and fitting of side skirts, front lips, colour coding front and back valances, new grill and tidying up of a few bumps and scrapes...

Quite a lot of work though I guess and was very happy with the results... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i have a mate who owns a paint shop he did my skirts and grill for 50. and then my bonnet and front bumper 4 100. can give you his number but im in norwich

You could of told me sooner Julian im booked in to have the Le kit fitted next wednesday <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> where does your mate work for future reference?
Cheers
By the way im getting charged £380 thats to fit lips, side skirts and spray and have the front bumper resprayed, and the rear black valance sprayed same colour, not bad i thought, but i know the job will be done right.

Even from year of production your never going to get a real colour match <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> very hard even with paint scanners!

£450 is way too much. About £250- £300.

should normally be looking at a lot cheaper than that i agree about £250 ive been quoted in leicester area

he works behind school garage in felthorpe . martys paint shop theyre good boys and cheap

Im know the place.
Cheers

Mariusz - I have an FMIC - how easy is it to fit the 360 bumper? If it's fibreglass does this make cutting it difficult? I had to cut away I good deal of the standard bumper to get it back on with the FMIC... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Suba mine is fibre glass and know it wasnt difficult to cut. If I recall Rog said it was less to cut away than on the standard bumper - although I think you IC maybe bigger than mine <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Fibreglass wasn't difficult to cut, but for FMIC I propose to install this bumper..

No Mariusz not that bumper because its mine <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. I'm getting fitted by bodyshop now as I didn't want to drive Coupe over the winter.

..ups ..sorry <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ..in fact ..its your bumper <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
