RX8 PZ bad underside rust
Hi
I can get hold of the sills (2 bare metal beams) for around £150. They would then need to be welded and primed/painted by a body shop. Mazda main dealer have also quoted me £186 for each front wing although I need to ask if that is primed and painted. Apparently the front wings are a direct bolt on so it shouldn't be hard fitting it on.
All this would solve the rusted lower wings and sills I already have on my car but wondering what I should expect to be charged to weld on the sills, paint them and fit the new wings?
Thanks

I don't think anyone can say until the old ones are removed and they know what they are welding.0
