Sirbrian Neutral Newbie May 20, 2008 Share May 20, 2008 is 300 including the repair of the bumper and the side fenders? if so then it is a good price. I repaired my rear bumper for $120, side fenders for $70 for each side. So I think you still can bargain a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go and do a major touch up.. i did the repairs liao at sin ming.....the workshop is highly recommended in another thread about spray and panel beating............ so far the uncle(boss) is very friendly but after spending the whole day today at the workshop.....i still need to come back another day as im not quite happy with the spraying (some touch up needed) and also my headlight alignment is out..there is a gap btw the bumper and the headlight..... in any case, i didnt pay him the full amount.....will do so when he settle the whole ting...just to share..he charge $230/- to repair and respray the whole bumper and side fender........reasonable?

X_xxx_x Neutral Newbie May 20, 2008 Author Share May 20, 2008 errr...the damage is not bad but not that minor either...the bumper got hole..hehehehe but i tink the most important ting is the impact wich pushed in the headlamp and its someting wich the workshop failed to rectify today.......there is a gap btw my bumper and headlight now...someting which the workshop promised to rectify the next time i can come.....
