#1: Disaster after disaster :( Author: jimjam19927, Location: PortsmouthPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:33 am ---- Yesterday my car got vandalised went down to find my bannana toy had been nicked, my rear wiper blade nicked, my back left tyre let down and my wind mirror pushed forward with the mirror cap on the floor cracked and scratched up :/
To try and cheer myself up decided to get my sp arches sprayed so can get them fitted before august 5th unfortunately getting quotes between £100. - £160??? Is this really what I should be looking at paying?
#2: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:35 am ---- Yeah thats about right. Just do it yourself
EDIT: It would be alot cheaper if you prep it yourself. I.E, sand and prime it.
#3: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:40 am ---- That quote sounds expensive
#4: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:42 am ---- It's be cheaper to send them to Matt (Teebag) to do.

#13: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:17 am ---- I was lucky last time. My car got paintballed (which was a b***h, as I only had one tissue left and a 2 hour drive home), but it didn't leave any permanent marks.
People really do need to be more productive with their lives and stop making other people's hell.

#15: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: jimjam19927, Location: PortsmouthPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:11 am ---- haha we dont fiddle fish
#16: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:14 am ---- spray them yourself, I did mine yesterday with halfords rattle cans and it came out suprisngly well
if your worried practice on something else first
#17: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:30 am ---- £100 is about the going rate for a professional job
#18: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: Resolutionary, Location: South West LondonPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:25 am ---- The cost of materials should come to around half that for SP arches only, and you'll have the satisfaction of doing it yourself. Give yourself a weekend, and crack on! Also, its a shame that people can't respect peoples property, but thats life. They'll get theirs soon though.
#19: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:00 am ---- WTF is a banana toy? All I can think it would be is like the thing the wife keep's on her side of the bed for when I p**s her off.
#20: Re: Disaster after disaster :( Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:18 am ---- Is the bodywork okay? The first thing I would do is inspect that they haven't left any tap dents. Sorry to hear its happened
