I was visiting a friend nearby so i chose them. They said to do the work properly would cost at least £3000. It sounded like it would probably cost more after they had removed the roof and seen what's underneath. That's very high! I've just had the rear end of the GT6 replaced - rear valence panel and boot floor, plus respray for £1300. £20 per hour for 58 hours. I got them to do a lot of other small jobs while they were at it, including small paint chips and rusty bits in arches and along sills. They even removed all the underseal from my rear wheel arches and repainted them in body colour. You'll hardly want to come this far with yours... but it's worth pricing about - Moordale are probably good at what they do, but that's a high hourly rate.

A tradesman in London (plasterer, sparky etc) will be about that. A garage has high overheads as well. I know somebody who reckoned he wasn't making much charging £75ph as a garage! Ouch. And try and Audi dealer (others similar I expect) Think they are about £150ph. Double ouch. Just the reality of costs around the UK. Hence worth travelling to get work done.
