   step by step guide
   
   1. open yellow pages
   2. pickup phone
   3. ring round local body shops, garages etc and ask for quotes
   4. write them down
   5. book it in at cheapest or most reputable garage!
   
   simple as :thumbup:
   
   saying this as its different in different areas of the country and each garage is different aswell!
   
   but you should expect to pay between 100 - 200 probably

   I paid £400 to have the following colour coded:-
   
   Front Bumper Strip
   Front Lower Splitter
   Wing Mirrors and Base Plates
   Side Rub/Bump Strips
   Rear Bumper Strip
   
   It will pay off to shop around. Don't go for the cheapest nor the most expensive. Their "cheap" prices will reflect their "cheap" work and customer service. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

   £80... Erhhh sounds too cheap if you ask me :-S
   
   I thought it was quite a reasonable price... especially as the bloke had to order two new side doorcards as he snapped the original ones.
   
   This colour coding also involved rubbing down the textured part to a smooth finish. Otherwise, it'd look crap.
