How much to "blow in" stone-chipped front end on an S2?

Need to get this done on my motor, looking for a ball park figure.

Thanks very much

For a front end respray and minor damage ( hit and run ) to a S1, I was quoted between 500 - 1200 pounds.

I eventually got it done for 300, but the chap does so by word of mouth and is so buried in work he does not want any ads. An excellent job by a runaway rebel - I'm sure there are others out there!

If yours is a simple respray only and to the lower parts of the front clam, I would imagine you can easily get it done for 300 -500, but many will 'take the piss ' as the chap above said, as there is little competition in the bodyshop world and eerily similar ( high ) prices.

Its easier on an S2 as theres a swanage line on the front of the car which means they dont have to respray the whole clam, below that line you could expect to pay £500ish.

400 quid - below swage line. Exact figure

Thanks very much. I think I will be looking at the higher end of the scale cost-wise then - there are small "rashes" of chips between the indicators and headlight clusters on both sides - I assume that these are above the "swage" line mentioned above.

I suspect you'll find the quote depends on where you go & paint costs.
