Does this seem reasonable?

[MikeyH]

Scraped my zed couple of days ago and looking for quotes, came back with between £220.00 and £400.00 plus vat. Is this reasonable ‘cause I’m on the brink of getting out the filler and rattle cans.

I paid £300 for a full bumper respray to put it in perspective. No damage though, just stone chips.

 

[Umfaan]

That price would be a full Bumper respray probably.

def DIY it first. fill, flat, spray, flat, spray, laquer. if ur not happy with it just get more quotes

 

[Mike6]

Take the hit and get it done properly. That colour looks difficult.

 

[Zedebee]

Get a SMART repairer to look at it, not a bodyshop. It’ll be much cheaper and a good smart repair is much better that a crap bodyshop job.

Alternatively, if you have typical Z4 stone chips all over your bumper, you may be better off getting a proper repair and full respray done on it.

The £400.00 plus vat was a full removal and respray

It was.

There are no more than 2 or 3 chips, I think a previous owner on here had it done. I'm getting a smart quote, just waiting now.

It's Sterling Grey, on a 19 year old car is it really worth the expense?

Yes I keep looking at it and thinking, 'I used to do these things myself years ago' I agree that yes give it a go and if crap get it done properly but is it going to notice down there anyway.

As a SMART Repairer I’d charge £150 to repair and paint that corner and blending into existing colour/Lacquer

A couple of hours of your own time to remove and strip it then refit afterwards should bring that price down a bit. It’s not a difficult job

Would that include the travel to deepest, darkest Devon?

Possibly, but then you get there and remember he moved to Yorkshire.
Do try to keep up at the back.

I thought Lynchy lives in North Yorks now and MikeyH lives in Devon, unless one has moved recently!

Ah ok. I got it the wrong way round. I blame it either on old age or red wine

Definitely not

That’s the sort of price I had in mind but another smart repair guy has just emailed me a quote of £220.00?
