dpg123 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hello! Can anyone give me a rough idea of the cost of a front end respray for a 986 (bonnet, front bumper and blended into wings)? Purely to sort road rash, no dents, scratched or other issues. I asked a couple of workshops but they asked me to bring the car in for an estimate (can't at the moment). I'm based in London but could travel an hour or so out if anyone has a recommended paint shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfprorich Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 You'll be given answers from £500-£1500!! As there's no damage I'm surprised no bodyshop will give you a quote, it's not exactly a difficult job for them 🤔🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 For front bumper moulding only I've been quoted about £250 in the East Midlands so on the basis of 'whilst its in there' around £600ish would be fair. Also about £1.8-2k for a full outside respray including a couple of minor metal repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Had front end done on my 987 about 18 months ago for around £600. That was in Aldershot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheddar Bob Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 When these places are more open I'll be getting some quotes. I'll let you know what I find out. I've got plenty of paint repair that needs doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAZ Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I’ve been quoted £240 for the rear panel between the boot and the hood - and then £140 for the side of the wheel arch blended into the bumper ( bonnet and bumper have previously had a respray but not in my ownership ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 My bodyshop charges £180/panel or bumper including VAT, the bonnet is £220 though as it's so big. They did an excellent job when I had the 986 done, colour match was perfect. I'd ask on a larger forum like Pistonheads for recommendations nearer you, these shops are always in the most inconvenient places so not great when you have to also rely on public transport.

Boxstercol Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Decent places generally around £200 - £250 per panel. With paintwork, you generally get what you pay for, always worth checking out the paint shop portfolio of work / speaking to other satisfied customers before committing. When I had my front end painted, I did a lot of research & a place about 30 miles from home (Bristol) came highly recommended - a trusted trader status with excellent reviews on a lot of car forums including the Ferrari owners club. The chap regularly paints high end cars & his portfolio included Ferrari, Lamborghini & Porsche. The work he’s done on my car is flawless & I’m proper fussy!! Slightly more cost wise but happy to pay the extra for a job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Need a bumper respray and these prices are better than 2 places in Kettering I've spoken with, one of which I've used before and is OK but not the best.

RickLS7 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 It's Quality Vehicle Refurb in Brixworth (just across the road from where I work). I think the owner is called Scott and mobile is 07936 380580, have no idea if they are working at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
