Vantage corrosion repair costs

[Jellyfishfields]

Looking at purchasing a Vantage that has some aluminium corrosion around both doors and one side of the bonnet.

The doors have it around the edge towards the mirrors, the mirror supports and around the door handles, the bonnet corrosion is on one edge.

Obviously not looking for an exact figure, just ballpark so I have a rough idea of costs. With that in mind, i wondered if anyone on here has had anything similar done recently?

I have emailed a bodyshop that specialises in them, but still waiting to hear back.

Can’t help with costs, but if the car is less than 10 years old I would push to have the issues fixed under the body warranty. I had the mirror arms sorted by mine by AM dealer in that way.

Thanks for your reply. The car is a late 2009, so well outside any manufacturers warranty.

I have a couple of quotes back now. Quite a spread between the two.

My 07 Vantage has very minimal aluminium corrosion around one of the door handles but would benefit from some paintwork both sides to address stone chips, so I would be interested to learn about your quotes, but only if you are happy to share.

In my case there is an AM price and a regular price. In the USA they seem to inflate the price because they think you have a ton of money if you have an AM.
