    Depends really, you'd have to see a body shop, but a full respray isnt cheap your talking a few 100 quid m8ty!

    Probably 600+ for a decent respray mate. Make sure you look at some examples of the bodyshop beforehand to make sure you are getting the best.

    No point going for the cheapest place if their work isnt great. Will just look cack.

    £700-£800 but can be more but as dan sayd check some of the painters work out if possable and not just panel try see an example of a full-respray.

    How old is the car? might find it easier/cheaper to sell it and buy a black one!

    the price of getting it resprayed would be quite high, and that additional money could help to pay for the massive insurance costs

    Yeah, I agree with Pred.

    You'll reall regret spending that £800 when you realise the costs of MOT, Tax, Petrol, Insurance, repairs.. etc.

    You will be definatley better off to either;

    Sell the car and use the money to buy another saxo in black (Which will be the cheaper option..)

    Or, stick it out for a year.

    Have the car for a bit first. When i was looking for a saxo, it took me weeks to find a low mileage blue one (Wouldn't look at any other colour).. But.. now, i wish i had a red or white one.
