LCR buying advice - paint work - damage to bumper

[lc_allan]

Hello,

New to the forum and have just made my first post in the wanted forum.
In short am after an LCR 225.

This one has caught my eye, is it anyones off here?

Secondly It's a good price but I'm thinking that would cost more than £50 to respray/repair. Can't see damage to the splitter which is strange for the marks.

Anyone have a rough estimate of repair costs. Don't know much about spraying but would imagine it needs a full bumper spray?.

Hope to be posting more on here once someone sorts me with a nice car

looks like he's rubbed up against a kerb m8. it will cost about £60 for paint and about 4 hrs labour at standard body shop rate £25 an hour plus vat to paint full bumper. or about £50 for a smart repair.

That doesn't look too hard to repair at all, so I wouldn't let that put you off.
I've had a couple of marks done by a smart repairer I trust and I can't tell.
Splitters pull off dead easy and cost £20 to replace
Not sure on prices , but do a search on autotrader to see what prices people are wanting.
You certainly won't regret getting one

S.M.A.R.T is an acronym of 'Small Medium Area Repair Technique'.
