Sorry dude,can't quite make out what your having done,both front wings and both quarters?it's a tad confusing!!if it's just welding I'd say a tad expensive as the parts are genuine but if that includes painting up afterwards that's a good price.

My stock answer would be.....................
Depends what the car looks like now
If the panels removed look like my dog chewed them off etc Not being rude, but everyone has different ideas how to tackle a job

i was quoted about the same for the same job on a mk1 fiesta,
as someeone said its not so much the work its the way the panels were removed and also what other unforseen damage/rust there is
if you do go ahead ensure that its a good company and that the 1000 was all in, nothing worse than them starting a job and phoning you saying its worse than they thought

but if you get it done for £750 and it's not 100% it will cost a lot more than £250 to rectify imo
