   Seems abit steep if you ask me... Could buy a second hand bonnet in the same colour for way less that that.. unless its an after market colour.
   Still seems expensive

   Some will say its far too expensive and that you could have a perfect job for £50..........it depends on how much of a perfectionist you are. Ive seen alot of these perfect paintjobs and all i can say is my eye sight must be far superior.
   
   I think £220 is a realistic price and with bodywork you do get what you pay for IMO

   220 isnt too bad tbh. For that price the tops of the wings will be blowed in and faded in etc. Ask a few bodyshops around your area for quotes and ask questions to see if the wings will be faded in. Cause if they say no and there only spraying the bonnet then you should be paying around 160 ish

   +1 and if they aren't blowing the paint into the wings beware of colour mis-match, it will happen!
