Default Prices for repairing rear arch and cutting for ABW's

Hi all,
Just wanting some prices or if anyone knows anyone local to Eastbourne to repair NS/R inner arch and part outer arch then cut all 4 arches and fit a set of ABW's for a 4 door. Had a quote for nearly 2k for it, which I think is personally a tad over the odds. It did include painting said ABW's, but that isn't much paint to be fair.

Any suggestions or if anyone knows anyone local who'd be interested in doing the work would be appreciated.

Cheers guys and gals

Before I read your post I was thinking £2k plus

Its not the paint on the arches that costs, its the cutting the arches correctly and doing the work properly that costs the money.

I'll do it for £1,800. I'll bodge the rust and inner arches and tell you it was all sorted correctly, then get the ABW arches sprayed for £200 and chuck 'em on your car

£1,500 for 1 hour with a grinder and bodge it all up



You get what you pay for, just don't take it to limitless performance rrr or rotherham scoobies

I understand what your saying, it's just they broke the price down and the dearest part was the paint! The cutting of arches and fitting the ABW's was way cheaper, didn't add up considering the amount of work for the arches and the minimal time of painting them !
