   Just been down to one of the bodyshops in my area and was quoted to do the following :
   
   Spray Front Bumper (Already Primed)
   Spray Front Grill (Already Primed)
   Spray Slam Panel (Already Primed)
   Spray Spoiler (Already Primed)
   Spray M3 Mirrors (Already Primed)
   Colour Code Side Bump Strips
   Prep and Respray Back Bumper and Boot Lid
   
   All parts will be removed and dropped off with them
   
   They Quoted £400-£500
   
   Is this a good deal ??
   
   Thanks

   the new parts are all primed and they will prime the rest of the parts and prep
   
   The boot and rear bumper is faded so they are gonna have to prep that - these smooth tailgates u can buy off ebay in fibreglass are they any good and also how would I fit it ?

    Get them to weld a plate over the top and smooth in! Will last for fooking ages and will never crack, were as the fibreglass one will!

    do u guys think smoothed boots look good enough to get this done cos might be alot easier to just get them to respray the boot

    If you like the smoothed boot look then get it done! Might as well get them t do all your body work
    
    EDIT: Or you could buy those OZ wheels I spoke to you about
