Does anyone have any ideas on the price of deseaming a whole mini?

And also just the price of getting front and back bumpers deseamed?

Cheers!!

Just had my rear done, but the guy is a friend and i get cheapo rates.

I had a new valence n boot floor fitted at same time.

I would expect front n back at a garage to be around £50-200 depending on work n panels etc.

full car - no idea.

Expensive? Do you have any idea how much work is involved? Those seams hold the car together you know and if you take them off you pretty much need to re-engineer every panel joint on the outside of the car, not to mention all the lead loading and fettling afterwards to try to make it look like a Mini again.

The front bumper one is easy as it's just a flange which is tacked on but the rear bumper lip holds about three panels together and is fairly important for the integrity of the rear subframe.
