I have had a quote to do a few jobs on my 635CSI Motorsports bodywork today and i am trying to gauge if the price is reasonable.
The work to be carried out is as follows,

FRONT SPOILER TO BE REPAIRED AND SPRAYED.
BOTTOM EDGES OF BOTH FRONT WINGS NEAR THE WHEELS AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THE MUD GUARDS SHOULD GO HOPE YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE I MEAN.THEY ARE NOT BAD BUT NEED TO BE SORTED.
ALITTLE BLOB OF RUST WHERE THE BUMPER MEETS THE BODYWORK JUST BELOW THE NUMBERPLATE.

I have been quoted £600 to do the work.

I also have been told that this type of work needs to be done right,old steel grinding out and replaced with new and then rust proofed.
The job that this company will be doing is cutting the rust out and makeing it up again with filler which i do not want.

Is there any garages that would do a good job on a 6 anywhere in the North west.

Cheers

Not sure if yours is expensive or not, but as a guide for my 3-series, here in Epsom I got a quote for all 4 wings to be ground out and resprayed with a very small dent taking out in the front - £300.
