The clio was booked into the bodyshop near me for a tidy up at the end of the month (Front end respray, new rear arch, blow over stripped inside...boot etc) The guy is a friend of a friends so is doing the lot for £170...ive just phoned him and he said he'd do a full respray for £450 ( I reckon I can get him down to £400 at least)

How tempting is that!? lol
Decisions decisions!

Mate, £450 is seriously cheap. Would be a bit cheeky to haggle on a price as low as that... Let us know what you get him down to! :D

I just paid £1750 for a full respray from a friend of a friend, windows out, handles, lock, bumpers and trim taken off. £450 isn't just cheap, its too cheap.

i had a resrpay done cheap and it looks brilliant, but the paint isnt standing up to stone chips at all, my front end is peppered after less than a year, been told by a mate who works at a bodyshop that he musnt have used 2 pack lacquer
