Euan I agree at that price I'd be swayed away from a respray too .. Where do you stay I've a couple of contacts that may be able to help depending on where you live .. One thing I know is that they'll not charge you £700 to repaint front bumper n bonnet ..
You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

Have you tried non city bodyshops? Cant see ones in my area charging that price and thats only 40miles north of you.
Smaller family run buisnesses etc would be a better shout
I got a Dr Colorchip kit from Alan when he was in the states. Full intention of using it on the blue MINI.
Got it all out to have a look at it and the bottles warn you the contents are a carcinogenic. Sorry. Touch up pen or re-spray for me. Will never open the dr Colorchip stuff. Life's too short as it is.

I'm with Doug_m on that the smaller body shops are always the best. Better job as they pride themselves on their reputation .. A reasonable price for bonnet & bumper would be around £300-£400 all the works in the prep not the painting .. Good luck on your search
