Thats a very good price! Have you seen the quality of his work before?
I'd be very happy paying that if the work was good.

hi, mate yes i used to be in the trade myself working for stephen james bmw in london many years ago , this is where my freind and myself served our bodyshop expeirence, and for my mate he has set up his own garage and his porfolio contains the very best work, porsche , bmw ,mercede's , ferrai's , aston martin's , his work is top craftmanship, i have known him for 20 year's now and i agree this is a superb price!! but it is a mate's rate!! i have total faith in his work .
