Advice on repairs

ianbeale_steeplecocque

I've got two damaged parts on my car - the side skirt and the front bumper spoiler/splitter. I've bought new parts and have a quote from a garage of £180 to spray and fit them both. I'm having a really hard time getting quotes so I don't know if this is reasonable. Most places don't bother getting back to me, one looked visibly annoyed that I was asking and just said £600 as if he was trying to get rid of me.


The parts that need spraying and fitting are one side skirt under the passenger door, and the ~3" strip all along the bottom of the front bumper: https://i.imgur.com/3eoh50B.jpg


I'm in Birmingham if anyone knows any good body shops in the area.

£180 sounds pretty reasonable. Painting parts is pretty time consuming and expensive.

Fitting often isnt easy either.

£180. Snatch their hand off and provided your happy with the result buy them a pack of beers too.

I agree, £180 is very reasonable. I've had body shops wanting to charge £300+ just to repair a bumper scrape I've got.
