I went to the bodyshop I mentioned in Digbeth, very nice shop, some nice BMWs in there including a 10 plate X5, a Nissan GTR and a few Audi's. Definitely the sort of bodyshop you would like your car to be, they quoted £350, but said you would get a SPOT ON colour match if you did use the smooth edition 30 parts, as I said it was something I was considering, and that if the standard GTI parts were sprayed, it would be a very good match, but maybe not 100%.
So I left it for now, and may invest in an Edition 30 rear bumper if one pops up in the next month or two. Also wanted the RNS510 and couldn't afford both so soon after buying the car!
Very happy with the head unit, was a great purchase!
JoeDarKa:
£350 just for the rear bumper? Looks a great purchase, not fancy a 3 door? :drinking:
Dave63:
Bumper and skirts for that, price is slightly higher due to extra work sanding down the textured Gti bits, would be cheaper to do the Ed 30 parts which will probably be what I go for!
With regards to doors, I was more bothered about the age/mileage/condition etc. Quite like having a 5 dr strangely enough, nice and easy when me and mates go somewhere for once rather than all the climbing!
DJM:
Surely buying the edition 30 parts will raise the cost as i looked into this but for price of parts its cheaper to get gti parts de-textured.
Will look into it more in the new year think im going to get mine mapped first lol. Let me know if you get any other quotes or get the work done.
Dave63:
Ill update in here mate.
I think i just slightly prefer the Ed30 rear bumper, will prob just have the standard skirts de textured. Will see if anything crops up in the next couple of months anyway!
Also after an armrest, so no rush in which order to do things!
