Epic Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 if you dont mind me asking how much this set you back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brians25 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 hi mate , by the time its finished not much shy of 3 grand inc fitting the bonnet which has been a total nightmare for the guys, chargespeed are not the best fitting of the bonnets avail, if you are thinking of getting one re-think unless you want the hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 3 grand and they left the rear quarter lights in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brians25 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 they offered to take them out but take no responsibility for them breaking in the process as they are a bxxxxx to fit, so that is why the rear quarters are left in as they are also at gvn and quite a few other bodyshops, the option was mine.

Paul Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Fair do's. When I had mine resprayed a few years ago for a similar price they had all the glass removed and put back after by an independent windscreen guy. Other than the windscreen (possible chips etc.) they covered any damage to the rest of the glass. Not a major issue but I think it's better to have them out, my paint guy didn't make too much of a fuss about taking them out so I'm suprised to hear that it's common to leave them in. BTW they were taken out as I saw it in progress;) Nice colour though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
