Pete.sVR6 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 My VR6 is suffering from the usual stone chips to bonnet & front wings but also has a few areas where the dreaded rust is starting to show, I am seriously considering a total respray but how much roughly would this be? any recommendations on bodyshops would also be helpful.Thanks.

ian 182 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 You get what you pay for nowadays with re-sprays and it pays to shop around.Youll get it done for £500 or you can get it done for £2500.It depends on what you want.seen some real horror stories over the years so be careful and use a reputable place near you...ian Link to post Share on other sites
Pete.sVR6 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 True, I have seen some great looking results on this forum and more than anything want to stop the rot before it gets a hold, I'm in Oxfordshire if anybody has any recommendations? Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I spent £800 8 months ago and am having it done again now (See members cars for pics)I can't emphasise how much you need a good place.I am having a total respray and lots of mods done and am looking at £1600 but that is also cash in hand and no VAT .

petervr6 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 dont know were you would get a respray done for 500 but i have 2 new wings fitted i supplyed the wings and the both sides of the car sprayed and any dent taken out and a repair to 1 of the rear archs were some twat hit me the total bit was 1350. thats just the 2 sides so every thing aparts from the bumpers roof bonnet and tail.so you would be looking more like 2500 mark for a good job.
