    For a full colour change i'd say £1500 to £2000 for a decent job

    As above. My advice would be to visit a few local bodyshops that have a decent reputation. Ask them to see examples of their work and base your decision on who to use on that and the price. I wouldn't use the cheapest as they will be cheap for a reason.

    I've been stung twice by 2 seperate bodyshops because I didn't do my research.

    Hopefully I've learnt my lesson!

    Between 1500 and 2000 easily for a good job using good materials.

    'Mates rates' you may get it cheaper but id recommend reputable places everytime, its not something that should be skimped on considering its such a major factor in how the car looks
