rash where do u get ur prices from???

i can get a full car respray for £800

i paid 500 for splitter to be repaired and sprayed. boot smoothed. rear door handles smoothed all the boot trim taken out and sprayed black and a shed load of other little bits here and there touched up and everything was blended in to the fiat. shop around mate u can get a car sprayed cheap if u look for it

as for parts that the killer personally if i was serious id taky standard bumpers and make my own kit it would be a one off and look amazing...

having a cupra i already have the look i am after... lcr splitter coming and i might colour code the bump strips and add some arches. subtle ones not wide arch ;)

well maybe the fact that i work in a body shop might give me a clue on prices that we do. the job looks good for £800 in the pics maybe closer up you see the quality. The amount of work and time that is involved in a re-spay job money cant be made on doing a respray for that cheap and corners have to be cut by who ever done it in order to make money in a company point of view! maybe they masked everything up i dont know but if we where to do a respray the whole car needs to be stripped (which is my job at work) door handles, locks, windows, mouldings, doorcards, rubbers, badges, bumpers, tyres, and much much more! so that the whole pannel can be repaired (if damaged) and sprayed properly! and charging £23 an hour labour charge for the cumstomer then you have got to pay for materials like filler welding prepreation and spraying and then fitting parts back on (my job) on top of the charges you are talking into the £1000's where i work anyway! but i do insurance work not retail so maybe prices differ!

whats wrong with fiat.... my fiat has been more reliable than my seat its never let me down

i know what ur saying rash but i paid a professional to spray my kit ended up costing me 800+ and the paint work was shocking.. the guy i use now is an insurance approved sprayer and if these are his words not mine... "i aint the best sprayer in the world but if u aint happy ill do it again for free untill ur happy" his spraying was spot on i have only ever seen 2 VERY small inperfections on the endless amount of cars i have set his way.

trust me its not hard to find a cheap sprayer. just dont be stupid when looking for one. when i went to this guy i was like u lot cheap = crap i went down got a price which was fantastic and then i went and had a look at the cars he had been painting. just make sure u can see his work before confirming ur work and ull be fine

do u know how many kits there are for a fiat brava... as for a colour match i have no idea what ur on about the colour match was spot on cos it was bended in. and i cant see any difference in it what so ever.

plus being only a smidge over 5cm from the groun and was being my every day car it took a few knocks so blending the kit wasnt an option.. every one blends there kits in.

i had mirror tints when they FIRST came out so was a thing back then agreed now black would of been better
