Hi

I'm due to purchase a '10 plate Clio 200 in need of some work, namely a full respray of a rear bumper where a previously badly done repair has now resulted in the paint becoming cracked and nasty looking, as well as a more minor graze to the front n/s wing and bumper too.

There's a ChipsAway based next door to where the car's being purchased from and they've quoted £350 for the rear bumper and £150 for the front bumper, and the same for the wing, so £650 in total.

The quote isn't for a smart repair and the unit has a proper spray booth. The repair to the rear bumper was a little more than I expected - I thought somewhere in the region of £250 max would cover it - and the work can't be carried out until the end of the month due to demand, so perhaps they're deliberately pricing high ease the workload.

Anyhow, I live close to J16 M6 and looking for some recommendations for a bodyshop within 45 minutes who'll do a decent job. I don't want somebody who does mobile repair. I know it's a 7 year old car but I'm fussy about it looking right!

Any recommendations gratefully received.

Thanks for that.

The one in Crewe seems to get a good write up so will give them a go.
