Hi, im new to passionford although over the years have owned several fords both standard and modded.
At the moment I am in the process of modding a Puma 1.7, just got 17" wheels , 5 spokes in shadow chrome and K&N 57i kit, window tinting next and then when the salt is off the roads the car needs a respray
This is my problem I think the car will need a complete body respray as the laquer is peeling on the front passenger wing and drivers door, also the front a post has a touch of rust as does both sills and rear arches. the rear passenger wing also has rust coming through from underneath, so far I have been quoted £1,000-£1,400 for same colour respray and £3,000 for a change of colour
This seems a little steep and was wondering if anyone knows of a local good body shop who would be a little cheaper as the prices so far would wipe out my modding budget

Colour change your lookin at about 2k + mate, trust me ive done it its a fookin bitch to do!!! whole car has to be stripped prepped, painted then put back together.

Same colour again if done fully will still need stripping so anything from 1k-£1500 is fair really.

If they do a blowover some places start at £800 + as they just do it without painting the shuts etc so leave the doors on etc.

You get what u pay for at the end of the day mate!!

Hi,

I had the wheel arches nicked off my peugeot 106 rallye a couple of months ago. I had the new ones sprayed and fitted by L.A.S. Motorbodies in Marple, behind Goyt Mill. They did a good job. They were recommended to me by some people that had accident damage repaired by them and they were both happy with the work done.

The phone number is 0161 484 5880
Fax no. is 0161 484 5770
