£800 to spray a mtec2 kit without the rear spoiler,fitting it myself and whoever is unfortunate to be in close range on the day lol,does this sound about right ?,he is a reputible sprayer and his work is spot on??????all opinions welcome.

800 quid to spray a bodykit,presumably off the car?
Sounds steep to me but what the fook do I know

[stevotheevo]

id says thats top money just for the kit, would have to be an immaculate job.

[bss325i]

All depends on the state of the kit before any work takes place.

[Jhonno]

Top money... I'd have thought fitting was included in that price tbh.

[elliott]

that is really steep, you should be paying half that for a top job!!

[fuzzy]

id agree thats quite expensive just for painting a kit.

[town325i]

i would tell him to fit it for that money is he preping it aswell even so it will need to be in a right state to pay that kind of money

[shafiq]

i got my whole car sprayed with kit on for 600
but then again he waznt that good
but if u want get it

[dano0]

that is well over priced for where I'm from i would of thought 300 to 400 max including fitting and a valet

[corkie]

apart from this the rest needs a good rub down and primer/paint an laquer

[projectmick]

Look up Jags bodyshop in Ilford Essex, he quoted me £500 to fit and spray a tech 2 kit and his work is excellent.

[corkie]

ok spoke to the guy again today yesterdays quote was just a quick guesstimate,.he has now given me a quote for £600 plus he is also going to sort out some rot on my wing

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Is the tech 2 kit for the cab?

[gooner1]

Why not have a go at spraying it yourself corkie, did my lower valance with plastic primer and a spray can.
Don.t think it looks too bad.





and will be doing the same with my Zender kit.

[corkie]

Is the tech 2 kit for the cab?

indeed it is. :Di havent the patience to do myself gooner.

[josh-hocking]

400quid tops id pay

[fuzzy]

ah, this is the one you bought with the big cut out on the rear apron at the exhaust? did you attempt to repair it yourself ?

[corkie]

the same fuzzy,i bought a fibreglass kit and attempted some in a hidden area,wot a mess i made, me and that stuff fell out bigtime,so im leaving it to someone who handles it for a living ,hes going to counter sink rivets to a alloy plate you can guess the rest.

Is the kit a cab specific kit? The side pods will need extensive work to fit mate. Is your cab pre-facelift?

[corkie]

i know im going to have trouble with the side skirts ,dont want to do any drilling underneath,ive also bought all the clips some of which are unuseable due to them not been cab ones.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Not sure if someone has modified a kit for a cab, or had a new one fabricated. Original cab kits are rare as hens teeth!!

[corkie]

i believe it can be done i would say the majority of ones you see on cabs are modified sport skirts imo.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

I've not seen many mate. Spoke to a disabled bloke in Yeovil, with a 325i auto cab. He took ages to source the tech 1 cab bits. I'd say most loose bits were off scrapped motorsports, with the majority of kitted cars being motorsports or specced up when ordered from the dealer?

Worth speaking to a bodywork guru like Dips, think he's in Laahndaahn somewhere!
