These prices are for an R56
. I was saying they used to be nearly £600
ops haha.. watching trawlerman and reading posts at same time.. im smiling again.. good good
damn the clubbys extra length! bet they will be a lot more
I was quoted c£600 a few months ago by a dealer and this included discount as they were a totalMini sponsor.

I'm wondering now if they've quoted me the correct price, as I remember them being more expensive than £218 per side painted, but I'm not sure now... the only time I've enquired in the past it was inclusive of fitting, which Ian's going to sort for me. I'll see what 'my' dealer quotes later today...

Mr Elf
Just checked with the paintshop I use and they said £150 to paint.
CHEERS IAN! Thanks for the info and kind offer of assistance.
Got quote from Parks:
£609 Painted.
£322 Unpainted.
I discovered there's unfortunately also a few other bits and pieces required, like the wee black 'grilles' for the sideskirt, various other fixings and Works sill plates, which brings the whole thing to around £415.00 incl VAT for the Unpainted Skirts. It all adds up - well it's the MINI Way...
Phoned back and clarified quote from VARDY:
Approx. £523 Unpainted (probably including the required fixings, but not entirely sure)
(All the above include VAT, but not FITTING, so if you needed to get that done too...)
The price from Parks inludes my 'Customer Loyalty Discount' of about £50.00 which you wouldn't get unless you've done business with them before. So buying from Parks and getting Ian's boys to paint them would be approx. £565.00 in total, plus a wee bribe for Mr. King!
SO I'VE GONE AND ORDERED THEM!
Hope the info's handy for anyone else who has more money than sense - which in my case is about £3.50.
ps While I was on a spending spree, I decided to get the Works Carbon Fibre Steering Wheel Inserts (not the whole wheel Ian!), to match my Works Knob.

I've updated the post Craig - see above.
