DarkStryder360 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Local body shop no doubt a good starter. 200 odd for front n back probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I'd say more than £200 ... £200 would cover front only or back only possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yeah id say just to spray them would be 100 notes per bumper easy, then the work on top of that so it could easy be the 400 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Go to a local scrappies and dig out a few bumpers, do some research and buy some equipment you'll need, and try it yourself.Even if you just get the bodywork part out of the way then get it sprayed, it'll still be alot cheaper, and more fun lol. Just my two copper pennies worth though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
