Vinyl Costs

[elfman]

Right, i've just had a quote to vinyl the bottom of the bumper under the grille and number plate black, it's standard front i'm sure you all know the bit i mean. i was just wondering what other people have paid, the quote i got was £40 just for that bit from a professional place, is that expensive or a fair price?

 

any input welcome cheers

[ATTAK Z]

Don't know but I'd pay that

[rtbiscuit]

seems a fair price

[Neilp]

I'd say that's about average, I got quoted 110 quid for my roof from a very well respected company.

[elfman]

thats ok then, cheers guys

i had some work done on my opld s14a buy a company called sjs designs, highlt recommended, i want the bottom of my bumper dont it that carbon vynal, ive done the little black covers near the fron windows and the stuff is proper easy to use so im gonna give it a go first, but the price you got is really good

[cfoster]

SJS are very good (in Chelmsford I presume?) but I'd imagine would charge a bit more.

 

£40 seems a fair price, i would probably charge that, maybe a spit more in carbon as the vinyl is a lot dearer! (buts loads nicer!)

Well i left it with them to get the front done, they couldnt do it.. supposidly couldnt get the vinyl to stick to the surface area.. There was a funny smell around at the time. maybe the smell of bulls**t was stopping it from working? They didnt seem over eager to do the job, imagine it was alot of hassle for the price tbh.

 

Taking it to another place tomorow and they're doing it for £20! and they do alot of small work so imagine they'll be more keen to do it. For that price i may get the spoiler done to

Good price

 

I bought some CF off CFoster to do that bit on the bumper, tbh ive not had much luck with CF so im dreading trying to do it myself.... if someone around here did it that cheap i'd snap there hands off

[elfman]

I've heard Vinyl can be a bit off a faff on to use thats why i want to get it done by a pro, imagine it'll be more cost effective in the long run

[elfman]

Just an update on this, i got the spoiler and front lip done for £40

Well worth £40!!!

[nurrish]

[Dene8]

Looks very Elf

 

PM or text me the address........ might call in after work

[fakeindian]

Very nice

[Ekona]

Front looks good, don't like the spoiler though.

[elfman]

Dene text you the details.

 

i wasnt sure if i should go for matt or gloss for the front, went with gloss but for that price i'd happily change it if i decide otherwise haha

[ReaperRSX]

Very nice mods for the price. Think doing the wing mirrors would also be worthwhile.

[Gervais]

Only just seen this, looks really good and very cheap too!

 

Been debating doing the bumper for a while, your car is exactly the same as mine and I think you have helped me make my mind up

[ATTAK Z]

Very Nice - how is it standing up to stone chips ?

[Gervais]

Ended up spraying mine today

 

 

Wouldn't have been done without elfmans thread

[elfman]

Looks nice that mate! good job! i chose vinyl so if i want to change it i can but that looks spot on! get the wheels and handles done and you'll have the same car as i will soon haha!
