I recently paid £500 to have all 4 arch trims, front and rear bumpers and skirts, bonnet, front wings and tailgate resprayed on my GSi in factory metallic grey and my 16" softstars done in metallic black.
Will get some pics up sometime (Probably when I become premium member  )

They dont need to respray all the bumper, they can just spray the top plastic part! Costs around £300 at my Vauxhall dealer for colour coding. Black should match pretty well so no need to respray the whole bumper!

exactly. you get what you pay for when it comes to bodywork IMO
i paid £280 to have my bumper strips and arches done. also got the door handles done and a new coat of pain on the morrettes.
and they werent just colour coded, but i had all the vinyl texture smoothed out so the finish was as smooth as the actual body itself
and that was a damn good price to get it done for

£300 to get all the black bits colourcoded (done properly, not just sprayed over the top and peeling after a few weeks)
depends how bad the scratches etc are on the rest, cant tell from you saying oh there quite small but noticable,prob bout 200.
anywhere that says they'll do all that for a few hundred must be doing it awful quick and not taking they're time.
100 quid ??? id be expecting sumone to do it with a brush for that

look, you dont have to pay someone thousands just to do a good job, reason its cheaper at my mates place is that there are loads of bodyshops around, so you have to be competative on the price, to do tham blackbits, there aint much work involved, so charging £300 odd quid is just a rip off, there sanded down do get rid of all of the orage peel effect then plastic primed, then flatted then painted over the top, just narrow mindedness. u gotta be competative to get work aint ya!!!!

when i got mine done i just took the arches and bumpers down and not the car as they charge for removing parts and putting them back on
May be worth a try - mine was definitley cheaper when I said I would bring the parts and not the car itself
