Respray prices?
Got a new 406 and the bodyworks a little tatty.
Biggest issue is theres a tiny bit of surface rust on the bonnet, just at the front.
It's been resprayed in the past and it's come back.
How much would I expect to pay to have this sorted out?
Bailes.

Nothing, just fancied something a little better on fuel and abit more Solid on the motorway.
Uncle got a new Citreon C5 so had his 406!
2.0 HDi, only 90bhp but if you learn to ride the torque it's adequete. No overtaking though
Couple of things I need to sort on it...
I managed to loose the Unlock button on the key, so bought a refurb kit on ebay.
Goto get the wheel alignemnt done as the steering wheel isn't quite straight.
And front brakes need changing as one of the discs is buckled.
Properly nice mile muncher!

Yeh mate they are comfy me dad had one a few years ago think it was an executive.
As said above probably best just to get a bonnet in silver.

Nowt, had a wheelbearing replaced last week and a CV gaitor. Mechanic gave it a PreMOT which is due in 2 months.
Looking to get rid of it now I guess. Think Ł800 is a reasonable amount for a 03 focus with 92k on it with a new timing belt but with pretty crap bodywork.

They are a proper 'chill out' car.
And those bonets are for coupes! Totally different.

I'd say its time you took up gambling! You seem to love throwing your money away.......or get married, that'll soon lose you some money!
Seriously why entertain the idea of wasting money on mundane cars that will be worth no more after? Even for the job of getting a bonnet in the same colour and fitting it yourself is it going to increase in value by what you spend? I doubt it!
Use the money and have a few beers, enjoy yourself. Oh wait................
