    Anywhere between £100 and £1500 for a saxo.

    All depends how high your standards are.

    depends how much body work there is to do and colour of what needs doing.
    roughly for prep and paint and bake time at my place your talking
    130 for bonnet
    50 for front bumper
    30 for each wing with vt kit on
    all are plus the v.a.t

    these are very rough prices once you start fixing stone chips and dents the price goes up due to labour and materials.
    and places like ours will not just go over dents and chips as it gives us a bad name.

    Its just that the parts listed above are a slightly different shade of red, and dont match the wicked red.

    They are much more red, where as the wicked red is more orange.

    So its not drastic, but its annoying me and i cant find the parts in wicked red.

    may be cheaper to get a paint match to the front wings and get the doors colour blended in then you have only the price of getting the doors blended. any painter who has a basic grasp of painting can do this and will make the front end match without a panel to panel painting (never quite matches)
