Hi Guys

Anyone know anywhere in Swindon/Bath/Bristol /Oxford area that colour codes the wheel arches and sides for a decent price ? Have got quotes from my local Mini dealer for £850 + VAT to colour code all round the car but this seems really expensive. Also got a quote for £750 + VAT but still seems alot.

Have explored the forums and have found a link to a place in Leeds for £450 which is a good price and one I'm willing to pay but if I can I'd rather try and find somewhere closer to home. There's someone in Go Mini magazine this month that has had it done for £350 - I'm trying to get in touch with him however if anyone can recommend somewhere in the area that does a good job for a good price, please let me know!!!!

Cheers, Lizzy

wherever you go (and anything over £500 is a ripp off) make sure they do the necesary steps of sanding, priming coating and laquering... mini design have all the details, as you know. oh, and make sure they have done minis before as refitting the parts takes a certain skill and many new clips that get broken in the process.

Hi

I have had quotes from 750 up.

The problem is most places do work for insurance companies etc- hence the crazy prices.

I'm in your area so let me know any useful info.
