Went to Ecosse Peugeot today because it's only five minutes from my house, and asked about getting my dented near-side wing replaced.
Spoke to Greg who was really friendly and was happy to help, and i was given a quote of round about £250 for a brand new sport wing, colour matched to my car and fitted. I've been looking for ages trying to find a second hand wing but it seems that they rarely exist in Flamenco red, so i accepted the quote and the work is getting done on monday.
What d'you guys think about that price? personally i'm happy to pay it because i know that the lads at ecosse will do a decent job, but a couple of my mates said i'm getting ripped off

Ripfuckinoff..!
Direct from Peugeot a sports wing is £90 inc vat. You can get a wing sprayed and colour matched for about £60 quid.

It's not a bad price considering your getting a new wing. Also paint materials arnt cheap these days.
Paint materials.
Etch primer.
Wet on wet primer.
Basecoat.
Clearcoat.
Then Polishing and fitting.
Like I said not a bad price mate.

at the end of the day is only a front wing, why paying that much?
i bet even pug dealer won't charge that much.
and who knows if Ecosse is using genius front wing but not some chinese unknow front wing?

I purchased 2 gti wings from Brian and got ecosse to paint them and post them down to me, and it cost less than that did.
I sold a flamenco red standard wing for like £40 posted, maybe i should have charged more

Right well if there blending the door and not just using colour chips that is a good price.

Door and bonnet go for it mate you won't get cheaper. My company would charge more than that.

What you looking at, about 3 hours paint and 2 hours to fit? Plus paint and sundries at about £60. Price of the wing on top. Sounds like a good price. £20 per hour is cheap.
