Sounds about twice what it should be. I recently paid 400 at whats probably one of the most expensive paint shops around here to get some damage fixed to a door, half the door painted & blown along the 3/4 panel & D pillar & that was in BMW 'individual' paint which probably costs lots.

Have you had the rear door cars off for a look? Mine are quite bad, visible outside but the insides are slightly more scary. If you want it tidy you'll need to address that as well because it'll come back otherwise.

Talking of more over ambitious pricing, scrappy today wanted 90 quid for a pair of scabby mk3 mondeo calipers, bear in mind i can get the same off ebay for 40 for both, but i just thought id rather see what im buying and the condition etc.

Offered the scrappy 60 but they were having none of it, so i gave them back
