Sorry off topic but AB Styling charged me £350 to spray and fit my front bumper and skirts which I thought was reasonable.

I asked about a smooth boot and they wanted £350! Seems they just pluck figures from the air

Yeah they also had to fibre glass and cut the front bumper to make the grill fit. Still expensive tho but the only place I could really trust to do the work. Sorry again for invading your post Valleyscorsa

No worries mate!!! I think your right they just seem to make prices up, i bet if i go back down there they will come up with another price,

as to what needs doing, need to remove arch liners at front also can only get 2/3 lock so possibly a bit of work need doing there, at the back the wheel practically touches the inside wall of the arch and also catches with people in back, so prob needs quite a bit of work, cant afford £250 though!!!

One of the arch liners has been taken out of the front, not sure why the other one is still there, the rear has not been touched at all, thats the biggest problem, apart from the lock with the front
