Hi Guys,

After much deliberation, ive decided that its high time I got rid of the few bits of rust that have appears on my car. Looking at it, its only really the front panel that needs replacing:

So, my question is, those that have paid someone to do their welding (rather than get stuck in themselves), what did it cost? By this I mean the welding, spraying etc?

Also, does anyone know where to get genuine/heritage panels cheaper than the obvious places such as mini spares or mini sport?

Cheers,
watso

i had the whole front end replaced and a whole respray this cost me £1400

i was quoted £250 just to spray the front to match the origional colour best bet is to get some quotes in

£150 max for the welding. As above about £200 for paint. Prices on heritage panels much of a muchness, can get discount from minispares if a TMF+ member.

Cool, cheers for the info guys. Thought that might be the case, but wanted to make sure before I started getting quotes in!
