[Mini Me]

[Scottie]

e'mm no never thought of that will get Allan to fit.

What about my colour coded arches. Got a price yet.

[MartinSullivan]

Heres a link to fitting instructions - in German unfortunately, I had an english set but cant find them at the mo.

Looks fairly straightforward though

Colour coded arches will cost £1K.......from BMW Bodyshop.
It's better value for money putting the bodykit on at the same time £2k for the lot(bearing in mind the kit is £1.5k)....

Wait a minute your telling me to paint the wheel arches on my car is going to cost £1000.00.

Surely not.

[seany]

body shop in inverness will do it for half that, and it is just the wheel arches

[Mini Me]

bmw are more expensive,not because we are ripping you off ,but because we use water basad paint which is 3 times the cost of ordinary paint.So we are more expensive at the moment,but in 2007 everyone will have to use it........sorry me dear !

Cost of paint - £30 quid. BMW labour - £970!!!;) I think I would shop around. Sh@z got his done for a fraction of that earlier in the year.

Which by some bizarre coincidence is the family of one of our newest members Kinghorn :p:D

And they really did do a nice job of both Maxine and Jordans car (and if that isnt enough plugging to get a discount when I want something doing I dont know what is!!!!! :D )

choc: yeah the new place is good, spesh cuz i get to use it at weekends when im home to do my own stuff hehe
scottie: every colour can be matched and every bodyshop will do there best to match it if it aint rite dont take it away from the place if u dont notice it for a few days go back strait away, most places will rectify the work after a few weeks as long as it defo is there fault if they dont they risk bad press, which they no aint good
