Any decent, local, body repair shops? The sort of place where you could go and discuss what's needed?

I know one in Manningtree, Essex, but I doubt if that's near enough for you!

the best i have had is £140, but in true locost fashion, i want it cheaper than that :-)

£140 for both sides is a bargain! I've heard that £100 per panel is a decent price (figures from professionals on this site).

that price was the lowest i got, and included the cash discount.

i did ring one place who quoted £400 !!!!!

whats up with the $50 paint job? Search for it on here, it's what i'd do if I was after a locost option.

I presume it works as well on Ali as it does on other metals.

what about getting them covered in graphics vinyl from your local signwriters?

Im sure it would be comparitively cheap and its washable, polishable and in general pretty hard wearing, and available in a huge range of colours too.

I was going to do it but decided i liked the bare ally sides.

Yeah, just get sponsored, and you won't have to worry - let them do it! You can't beat the attention it gets. That's what any business wants.
