Super Jamie Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 it doesnt look like its damaged any metal? where the hell are these panelbeaters getting their prices? bumper from the wreckers $50, taillight from wreckers $25, half an hour to undo a few bolts and mount it all properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I actually agree with the first quote more due to the fact they will repair the bar rio and paint it, then fit an exchange cover on it, also they will replace the indicator with an aftermarket one quote #2 wants to repair the bar rio and put the existing cover back on and just bodgily repair the corner where it was hit without painting and fit a second hand indicator light quote #3 wants to repair the bar rio and paint the bar cover (which will probably flake off in about a weeks time after being painted) and fit what seems for the price $100 to be a genuine? indicator or just loading the quote...
