Hi woll, sorry to see another bent Pug-feel it for you! Would think a decent body shop would want the best part of £1200 for that fender-bender!. If you're reasonably competent- it's probably no more than a couple hundred in parts, but not sure what proper paintwork would be, and miami probably wants pro. application. If it were mine I'd replace the wing/bumper and lens and have a go with aerosol- with enough laquer it can be cut back to look pretty good. If you could do this yourself and maybe get some s/h parts you could be sorted for a couple hundred and the insurers none the wiser. (theres a wing and indicator in my garage if you want to go that route and you get down this way at all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest woll Posted August 29, 2006 There's two? Ok, prob should have written 'don't quote me on this..' but i didn't! I was under the impression that the first limited edition ones were of a slightly lighter shade. Most prob wrong but thats why I put that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted August 30, 2006 If your keeping the car I would fix it up myself, Wing etc isn;t that hard and just get it sprayed by a pro, As for the shades of blue the 1989 version is more electric/outstanding than the later shades, There's more than 2, Think that's bad you should see Red...

I was planning on selling it within the next few months and I'm sure its prob worth me getting the work done rather than selling it as it is. Is it easy enough for a pro sprayer to just paint the wing or is there going to be a problem with blending it with the rest of the car? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
