mtc R32 0 Posted June 27, 2006 I was too but then I just couldn't wait any longer so went to plan B... Shhhh (Mrs don't know)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted June 28, 2006 He he, I used the money I had to pay off a little loan to fund the respray! Then I'll just carry on paying the monthly amount! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveVR6 0 Posted June 28, 2006 £850.00 Bargin!! where is this place!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted June 28, 2006 I'd say price is about right for a respray thats not a windows out job. Give or take £100. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 28, 2006 are you having the rear arches smoothed into the doors or something? just looked like there was alot of filler on the leading edge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom_vRS 0 Posted June 28, 2006 I think its a good price - should be good when done. Nice and smoooth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtc R32 0 Posted June 28, 2006 Looks are deceiving.... Its not that bad really, Was some very slight dents and rust that had to be treated.. Decided to go for the smooth bumper... They've plastic welded the bumper with another peice cut from a damaged bumper, then slight filler to smooth out imperfections... counting down the days to get it back...

Seen it finished today and beleive me STUNNING!!! Had a damaged Audi S4 in 2002 spec.. Car was rolled 3 times!!! When I first saw it, I presumed it was there to be stripped for remaining parts... NoNoNo.... They panel beated the roof, replaced 2 rear quarters and repaired doors including all front end... Cstomer collected it yesturday and You'd never of told it was subject to that sort of damage... These guys work miracles.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
