Give me some ballpark figures for a good job - I've had a couple of quotes which were quite a bit more than I was expecting.

2x new and primed, no fitting.

I've just paid £400 for a large front bumper, a pair of sill extensions (size of Z4 sills) and fill and paint another piece
Breaks down to £150 the sills and it's an absolute top notch job

I would say your quote is on the top end of price ranges

I was expecting £200 for a bit of London mark-up, with some wriggle room.

NW, quotes I've had so far have been from units near Wembley Stadium. As they won't be on the car I'd be happy to travel a bit, I'll be getting them from Westerly in Yeovil so even a shop down there that someone has used could be useful.

I paid around £450 including VAT (not fitted), I had two prices very similar but went for the slightly more expensive BMW approved garage. I know you could get them painted cheaper, but like all things in life, you generally get what you pay for!

That will be per side, plus VAT (although still less than they quoted me :o :o )

I have just looked back through my old posts to see exactly what I paid and they came in at £360 including VAT (but not fitting), this was through Leeds BMW, so it might be worth trying BMW.
