Title: How much would you pay?
Post by: lewisako on March 16, 2015, 05:02:18 pm: Hi guys been quoted £425 for a complete refurb / respray and smoothing of a GT bumper. Just wondered what price roughly you would expect this to cost.

Post by: xjay1337 on March 17, 2015, 05:11:04 pm: smoothing of the rubstrips, another 50-75 quid tops (epoxy and fibreglass isn't that expensive nor time consuming)
Bumper basic spray job - 100-125 quid
smoothing and spraying of the front grill piece around 60-70 quid (i've paid 30 and 65 from different bodyshops).
wouldn't bother touching up the splitter, it's a stock non GTI splitter, cost 20 on ebay.
