colour coding yet again !!

johnsw007 · 10th April 2012, 15:24

hi chaps,

was wondering if anyone knows of any good bodyshops in the midlands area that could colour code my trim on my type s gt.

need to get rid of the horrible grey colour that it has turned into to

Hi Mate,

I've actually just had my car fully colour coded last week by GMotorsports in Peterborough and they did an excellent job on my car. Alot of places local to me turned this work down so I decided to travel 80 miles to Peterborough from Chesterfield after seeing some good feedback on the below posts.

Had my Type S colour coded

I'm just waiting for some good weather so I can take some pictures and write up a more in depth review. I would recommend giving Swap a call on 01733 687101 to discuss and also check out his previous work on their Facebook page.

Thanks
Tim

This is great thanks mate, just out of interest how much did yours cost and how long they have your car for if you dont mind me asking ?

TJenko06 · 11th April 2012, 18:09

It was £375 and took 4 days. They removed all the trim which is required to do the job properly and then refitted. I was surprised to learn that some places leave the trim on the car to save time and cut costs. I was also given a lift to and from the local railway station which I did not expect and saved some time. I would definitely go back to have further work done if required.

Errmmm - the Type S is NOT the FN2 !!!

johnsw007 · 17th April 2012, 13:41

i had a quote from these city paint & body shop based in wolverhampton quoted me £320 with taking the trim off.

I had a quote (just testing the water) as a place near mine in caversham, Reading £550 they have an advert on the radio saying low low prices.

When he told me i chuckled and he asked why im laughing i said because you dont see youll be out of a job soon with prices like that dont think he appreciated it
