    met paint only a little bie more,

    they would consider writing it of ONLY because of the age of the car and the cost of repair at say £500,

    if they are good neighbours then shopping around for more quotes is the way,big bodyshops always charge more

    have a look here and see if the colour is on the page,a second hand good condition wing would be better as in the end colours will match better

    Hi Wannabe, yes and no,my main work is on powerstations but I also work for various dealers,

    dacouch,yes he can demand only genuine parts are used but it seems from the thread that they are good neighbours so I would doubt it,as long as he is happy with the repair who cares if they are pattern
    I :love: MOJACAR
