Front end respray - 996TT

[roshambo]

All

Any idea how much a front bumper respray costs?
If I keep my car I will get this done as there are quite a few stone chips.

I guess the ideal is to take it to a Porsche approved bodyshop?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

No Dig, but I pay £150 from one of the top coachworks in Edinburgh

Thanks kayc - was that a Porsche bodyshop or a specialist ?

Would people trust their P&J with a specialist ?

I can't see why not - nothing specialist about un-bolting & re-bolting a plastic bumper is there? I've paid between £100 and £175 for the same job and a total of £400 or so to have the bonnet and top of the wings done at the same time.

Being as OPC's usually farm their work out to 'approved' bodyshops and assuming you know someone capable of doing an excellent job then there's only one choice.
Personally I have always used the same bloke,paid pound notes, an NEVER had a problem even including OPC inspection at trade in time.

Can anyone recommend someone in the East London or surrounding area?
