How much do you think a body shop would charge for the following?
Scenario 1;
An Audi TT reversing into a door of an old Audo A4 saloon, denting the door of a saloon and scraping the drivers arch.
Body shop work: Respraying a brand new door of an Audi A4, and repainting the drivers side arch, touching up the Audi TT, sorting a very deep scratch out and repainting part of the boot/wing.
Scenario 2;
An Ferarri 360 Spider reversing into a door of an E92 BMW M3, denting the door of a M3 and scraping the drivers arch.
Body shop work: Respraying a brand new door of a BMW M3, and repainting the drivers side arch, touching up the Ferarri, sorting a very deep scratch out and repainting part of the boot/wing.
Same bodyshop...
Scenario 1 - Total price £850
Scenario 2 - Total price £3500
How the fuck can they get away with that??
