Front end respray

[mcung13]

I am looking to get the front of the car resprayed.

Bonnet and bumper are full of stone chips.
Wings have to be replaced. They are rusting inside out.
Front corners of the sills have some rust.
Mirror base plates have some bubbling under the paint and driver side mirror got scraped in a car park by some idiot.

I will source the wings and remove and refit mirrors and bumper myself.

My budget is around €1500. Is it reasonable or is the budget too low?
Any recommended body shops south from Dublin. I am in Carlow myself, closer the better.

Left wing rust


Right wing rust

Try johnny at car cosmetix iv been looking myself and will most likely go with him , moe on here with the black e60 M5 had his car done by him and was very happy with the work , his quotes were very reasonable

I got a very good quote from Car Cosmetix.
It is less than half of one the big bodyshops in Carlow.
They seem to have good feedback.
I think i have to pay them a visit.

Yep i was very happy with my quote it wasn't so cheap as too raise alarm bells but priced well enough to be extremely competeive

[mcung13]

I see, that car cosmetix is a member here too, but hasn't logged in since may.

Never noticed if you do a search you should come across moes thread

I have it booked in with Car Cosmetix for end of July.
Also have a set of rust free wings.

Small update then.
Some pictures of wings from inside.

Left wing.

Car stripped and ready to go to.


And finally, all back together bar left arch liner and plates.
I quite like the no plates 'merican look.
