    £150 seems to low to me Id be budgeting around £250 for a good job.
    Cheaper and easier to just find one in the same colour

    £150 should be more than enough for a quick rub down and splash
    of course it could increase if its a pain to take off the car and reattach the replacement
    the other thing to take into account is the wrong colour one for sale might be off an accident damaged car and therefore might be out of shape even though it only shows superficial damage

    those 09 focus's have large bumpers, your looking at £180-250.

    retail the paint costs is about £60. 250ml of primer 250ml of basecoat and 250ml of laquer to buy over the shelf at about £20-30.

    prework is about 2hours, paint times in bake oven and the over all buff up are what ever the body shop labour rate is £45 per hour something like that then add vat ontop.
