Or these for about £20

Can you post the e-bay link plz for the top ones

It's ok found the link and showing interest

Got a quote!

I've got a quote now, for the rear to be pulled out on the Mini, from * * * * , Birkenhead.

The quote is...wait for it... £600

What I need to do is buy a new full rear panel assembley. I've got a boot.

I also need to buy a new valance and bumper, and the guy at the garage will do it for me, all of it including spraying.

The cost is too much really, so I think I'm just getting him to pull out the rear, fit the complete new panel and valance, and I will do the rest ie fitting boot and spraying it etc.

Sooo...ye GOT A QUOTE!

Thats not Cheap mate, i think he is taking your pants down and shoving it up your bum

Try Pete at Automotion, Click me for details..............

Or Spray Force Click me

Do they have facilities to pull out the rear? :rolleyes: Do you think he will quote much cheaper? What sort of discount do I get with being cruise wirral? (If there is one!!)

Discounts are at the discresion of each sponsor.
As each job is diffrent.

But mention that your from cruisewirral

OOOoooOOO sounds great!

Just cant believe the price, I think I will just buy a new rear panel and valance give them to him to fit and pull out the crease and then do the rest myself, i.e Painting etc and putting the boot on.

It was J$R motors Birkenhead, recommended by the MG owners club. Dad has seen some of their work and he says its to the highest quality an standard...soo I dont know. Will leave my options open. Himley Hall Mini Show is on In a few weeks so I'll see about parts their, are you coming STU? (steveobennet)

Cheers Webby n Scoob for your input

Bought a new set of points and they're not the right

I suggested Automotion as they have a state of the art Jig to pull the rear out, as far as i know Spray Force dont have a Jig ?

i agree with scooby, automotion would do a top job

Well the thing with my Mini is that it needs, like 'restoring'so I dunno really, I take it Automotion are used to dealing with accident and reapirs on say 5-6 yr old cars but not on like a 28 yr old car. Im sure they could do it and do a great job, but its not really me, it's my dad he's not keen when ever I mention 'Cruise Wirral' or companies related to Cruise Wirral he just seems to be off put! don't know why and I don't even think he really know's why. Its just with Automotion you only see the cars they have customised and modified not repaired. I havent seen their repair work so I cant really compare. So I cant really act or decide anything without his agreement etc. concerning my age... I dunno
